This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: [BUG] MC7.0.2 Paint/AniMatte Bezier Curve Bug

I'm fighting this issue on SNDX 6.0.5. A four corner shape created with the poly tool. I hold option and click and I see the bezier handles but as soon as a pick up the wacom pen they disappear. Through trial and error I've found if I keep holding the option key and move the wacom pen to one of the handles it just moves one half of the handles then if I left up and retouch that handle both handles straighten into a line and both move as one straight line. It's a bit of a touchy way to work but it did get me the handles to stay and work as advertised although each point has to be done individually.

It's just not the advertised behavior, and I'm trying to suss out whether this is a known bug, or if there is something that's changed and I'm missing the secret handshake.
