Some ...mod changed topic of my previous post and chang its meaning so i'm asking again.
Is this bug or feature?

Recently? Controls for changing rounded corners have been added to the textbox.
Is this an intentional feature or a bug?

Before, I used the shortcut "a" + doubleclick to quickly edit the textbox.
Now, instead of editing the text, I round the corners ...

And it is not a recent addition, it has been there since at least 2017.

Do you work on a PC or Mac?

On PC, we use just double-click on the textbox, and the tool changes to Type tool. "A" button is excess here. 

I could not repeat the Round corners window opening with your shortcut version, just get the Round corners widget. It always gets visible when the Direct Selection tool is active. And it's all right, the textbox is a vector shape and can get rounder like any other shape.

    I don't know if it's excess. I'm using direct selection, for some reason I can't recall right now. I work on Wacom, and not all tools are obvious when you use a tablet. For some reason, editing text with "A" is better than Text tool

    It depends on how far you are zoomed out, how small your text box is and where you double click with the direct selection tool.

    I use T as a shortcut to edit text, but even then you need to zoom in enough to click on the text.
