Align on a selection not working - Illustrator 27.3.1
When selecting the 2 points of a line, the "align to a selection" is not available.
However, it worked yesterday, before upgrading to 27.3.1.
What I want to do is select the first point of the line, then the second, and when I click "align horizontally to center", the first point should align with the second.
Instead of that, the entire line is centered on the artboard.

When all points of a line gets selected, Illustrator treats it as a whole object selection, and all anchor point related operations become unavailable.
This also applies to Convert Corner / Smooth, Cut and Connect operations in Control panel.
A wonky workaround is to add an extra point to a path, and not select it — I know, a stupid one.However, I doubt it ever worked differently... I checked CC 2019 (23.1.0, the latest old CC version I have access to), and it works there the same way as today (except for Align To mode buttons exposed).
If you have access to CC 2022 still — can you record a short demo and share a test file, please?
