Getting rid of a new feature

[Trains1985]

When I use the Selection Tool, Direct Selection Tool or the Pen Tool, the tool is followed by a jumpy, tiny "X." In addition, one or more small circular-shaped object is placed near the shape I'm creating.

Where exactly in the Preferences, etc. do I need to go to get rid of these new features?

Can you please show that?

It's a little bit hard to visually explain because it would be require me to have two cursers at once, to fully illustrate. But it's clearly an update because when I opened the application, it had a different default illustration while it was booting and also that I received a "thumbs up" from another community member.

Anyway, if you look at the selected path, it includes two tiny, unknown red/white circles within it. The "jumpyness" part of it is almost like the Brush Tool in Photoshop, where you see the brush throughout the time but the paint itself is delated by a second, while it follows the tool. In this case, you would have the Pen tool, etc. instead of the Brush and the tiny "X" intermittedly following the Pen, instead of the paint.

Those tiny red circles are corner widgets to round corners.

Thanks so much!

It seems to cure everything.
