direct selection tool causes broken anchor points to snap to same angle???
Since 24.3 the direct selection tool causes absolutely unwanted snapping of broken anchor points while moving one of the anchor points. That's absolutely wired and stops any workflow. Please fix this quickly again!

I’d love to see that file, but I am sure that you don’t have it after 3 years...
It happens in Ai when a point is considered to be smooth and has a special flag, but the angle between handles is not 180°. And when a single handle get modified, Ai then moves the other one accordingly, respecting the Smooth flag.
Why this initial discrepancy happens... there are many reasons, and it’s hard to track them.
There is a plugin that helps to track it and fix these points, changing 'smooth' flag to 'corner' for those points which have handles broken, — VectorFirstAid, a paid one, https://astutegraphics.com/plugins/vectorfirstaid
There is a also a free script, Select Points By Type: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Select.md#selectpointsbytype — but it only selects 'broken' points, allowing a user to decide what they want to do with those.If you still have the file — please share it.
