Editing handles of smooth points using ALT to change one side only
Adobe Illustrator 2024 on MacBook Pro running Sonomas 14.5
When editing smooth points I used to be able to select one side of the handle, hold the ALT key and edit the direction of that handle independently. Now it duplicates a part of the path. It's slowing me down a lot. Used - making waves, hair texture on objects, etc. Thank you

Justine, can’t reproduce it the latest build, but on Windows.
What happens if you select Anchor Point tool specifically (it’s a solo tool that Ai switches to when we hold Opt/Alt when dealing with handles) — does it allow you to edit handles?
In your normal workflow, when you are getting a copy — what tool do you have selected?
