Can't change center of radial gradient (without changing outer circle) anymore?

Question

I used to be able to click once inside a radial gradient to change the center point's location without changing the outer diameter's centerpoint and size.  Clicking once now does nothing.  How do I accomplish this now, apparently something has changed.  Trying to get a gradient like the attached image.

If it was never possible I might agree it, but I used to be able to create the attached type of gradient without the annotator active. This is no longer possible at all unless the annotator is turned on, which is why I think it's a bug. I am unsure which version the change happened on though - but it seems odd to completely remove a feature of a tool - especially when a single click now does absolutely nothing without the annotator active.

You are correct, I started up some old versions.

It was possible in CC 2018 (22.0.1) and stopped working in CC 2019 (23.1.1) and newer.

My results: When I just click with the Gradient Tool, with or without the annotator, the gradient collapses. Click & drag generates the gradient according to how the stops were set, how far I drag it, and where I start it. To move the gradient without changing its size requires the annotator, click-dragging the annotator slider bar.
