    Illustrator user since 1989, when point text was the only kind of text. To move it, you click and drag the anchor point. Use the shift and/or option key to constrain and/or copy it. Can snap to other points in the art. Pure and beautiful! But now, clicking the anchor deselects the text path. It's like switching the gas pedal with the brake pedal. Please let it be a bug and not a conscious decision!
