System Information
Operating system: macOS-10.15.7-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.4.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-09-24 17:57, hash: blender/blender@4e7983e073

Short description of error

At this following page:

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/modeling/meshes/editing/edge/screw.html#fig-mesh-screw-wood

There is an instruction text:

Press Ctrl and left-click LMB near the circle, in more or less at the light gray line of the square above the circle, and, while still pressing Ctrl, left-click LMB again in the gray line below the circle. You have created two vertices and an edge, which Blender will use as the first height and angle vector.

as seen in this screenshot:

But when following from previous section creating a circle, which worked as described up until this point, I'm unable to create a vertex as describe using 'Ctrl+LMB'.

Extra note after re-working the example, the first part, after adding the circle, user will NEED to transform the circle in Edit Mode, not in Object Mode, so the circle's origin will not be moved and remained at 0, 0, 0.

Please rewrite the instructions.
