Same. Here's how it works on PC:
In the main menu, under gameplay, when you toggle "hold pull key" or whatever it's called from it's default, (it's turned off by default), it untoggles after falling off a platform or dying in game. This is especially annoying when trying to solve puzzles, but can also affect combat in certain instances.
Also note that when checking the menu after falling off a platform or dying, it appears toggled but in game you still have to hold the pull key. This can be fixed by going into the main menu, and untoggling then re-toggling the option.
It's much more preferred to just have to press "3" once when trying to pull something than having to hold it while trying to use other keys with one hand on mouse and keyboard, to make things especially clear.
