Path Eraser Tool is erasing too much in Illustrator 2025.

I recently updated to Adobe Illustrator 2025 and since then there have been a few issues that I've discovered while working with this new version. The first issue that I would like to discuss here is that the Path Eraser Tool is erasing much more than it used to. For my job, I need to remove small segments from lines, leaving dashes intermettently throughout. In this update, the tool is much more (or maybe less?) sensitive, and will erase much larger chunks. I will drag along the line close to the end of it and it will erase a larger portion of the line than I selected. It also deletes the small segment that I wanted to leave at the end of the line. Previously it felt much more precise and allowed me to get pretty small segments after erasing.

It's frustrating that Illustrator doesn't have easier tools to erase sections of your drawings. The Eraser tool will warp my lines after erasing, and the Knife tool only works on closed shapes. I might have to resort to just using the Scissors tool to cut portions out, but when I am supposed to create lots of little gaps throughout my shapes, it is much easier to just click and drag to erase a bunch of times.

Has anyone else found any solutions? Also are there any ways to possibly alter the preferences for the Pather Eraser Tool so that it doesn't erase with such a heavy hand? I have tried double clicking the tool in my toolbar to no suffice.
