P: Heal tool overlay not showing - departure from 13.2

[mark233495990o4g]

The Heal overlay used to work perfectly in previous versions of Lightroom Classic for Windows. You just pushed "H" to hide or unhide. Now, in 13.4 the closest thing is to use "Auto", but it shows you all the heal spots and you can't do a heal that is overlapping a place that has already been healed, unless you change to "Never", but then you can't see the overlay that shows you where you are sampling from. I hope this makes sense.

Is this a bug, or is lightroom going backwards?

It's driving me bonkers!
