Direct Selection tool does not work on text anchors....
For some reason I can no longer select text by anchor using the direct selection tool. If I use the Regular selection tool it acts as it did before the update but the direct selection tool does not.

Note that this only happens when the text is already selected and I click on the anchor point to move it with the direct selection tool.

I forgot to mention that we are using the windows version here.

Illustrator CC 2019: Picking and moving text object at the origin point doesn't work anymore for the direct selection tool (white pointer).
The "black" selection tool works properly. Also pressing ALT to drag and copy works. Also working with shift-drag (orthogonal movement).
