Direct Selection Tool select ONLY anchor points and segmants and NOT the entire shape/object.

Dear Adobe,

As the tool description you wrote says, please make the Direct Selection Tool select ONLY anchor points and segmants and NOT the entire shape/object.

The reason one uses this tool is to make such adjustements.

I accidentally select and move the entire shape multiple times when editing anchor points, before finally being able to move the point I want.

One simple change > Massive workflow speed improvement and less frustration.

WIn-Win!
