Has anyone noticed that after upgrading to 9.0.1 that alt-s to split a line now "respects" the position that the split value resides in (so if you split at column 50, the new line starts at line 50 with whatever was split off from the original line.

I can see where this could be helpful when setting up a D-spec and needing to make a multi-line (possibly b/c you duped a D-spec and the new one will have a name that is too big to keep the definition on one line).

It's taking a bit to get used to in free-form (C-specs). Although the previous behavior of splitting a line and the right-split value going to column 1 wasn't exactly the most helpful either. Is it just apples to apples - from one random position to another random position that will more than likely not be where I want it?

Just curious what people's thoughts on this was.

I have the following mappings:
alt-s splitAndShift
alt-shift-s split

The alt-s mapping now seems to ignore splitAndShift (as you note). I
tended to use alt-shift-s more than alt-s, but I think I'll now assign
alt-shift-s to splitAndShift so I can have that back.
