Line Endpoints Bug?

Yo,

For a long time now I have seen this bug that didn't used to be there. It's not a huge deal but I use hot keys and the built in shortcuts a lot. In this example I am using the "Line Endpoints" like I do 400 times a day. As many know once you are in the line endpoints window you can switch between freeform, vertical, horizontal by hitting the corresponding letters F,V,H. Well with 2021 when I ( not sure if it's just me ) launch the line endpoints and hit " V " I get vertical as expected but when I then hit "F" still in the same session of line endpoints, it won't switch over to freeform. I have to hit V again and then F but then I can't draw because it won't let me click anywhere. It gets confused somewhere. I have to close the window and launch again and hit F first if I want freeform.  

With that said I can use my mouse and click on the Freeform Vertical and horizontal buttons and it works fine. Just the shortcuts are glitchy. Can you try this on your setup and see if you get the same thing?

Also if this has been covered then sorry for the redundancy.

Thanks for tuning in

this is why I no longer update to new "better versions". 

I don't want to find the latest frustrations piled on top of all the old ones.

lost functionality is typical with every new release. they don't care if you are tied to your mouse hand.

I use 2019 and wish I had stayed with 2017 for the drill point manager ( better in at least 5 ways before the upgrade.)

thx for the hot keys, I didn't know those. hopefully they work right on 2019.
