Curvature tool does some funkiness when clicking on a point of a different object
Curvature behaves weird when you click on another object (related to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44830828--corner-anchor-points-become-smooth-when-joining).
But I'm not trying to join the objects, just click on it. It works fine if you click on the path of the second object, but if you click where an anchor point is it joins the two objects together at the point you click and the first anchor point of what you clicked off of. It also deletes all corner points of the object you clicked on.

Yep, can replicate this! Very odd! If I deselect a path before clicking, nothing weird happens. Happens only with corner points.

Unfortunately, as this is a work computer, I'm stuck with the tools that come with windows, so my captures are not going to be that great. Here is a test file with a before and after of the paths.
Basically, I have the bottom path selected by moving a point around or something, then I clicked on the bottom corner anchor point of the top path trying to select it to edit it. Illustrator ends up connecting the two paths for some reason which might be intended but feels very unintuitive. -
Brendan, can you please put these two paths into a separate file, check if the behavior works there as well, and share this test file here in comments.
The GIF happened to be rather tiny... and I still can’t reproduce it (BTW, I use LICEcap to record GIFs: www.cockos.com/licecap/ — cross-platform, lightweight, records mouse clicks, allows to set decent FPS value)
