I actually asked for a rationale for this design change and the response so far is silence.
This is an example of what isnât broken, fix it.

I also donât trust it saving so am constantly checking to make sure the file is there afterwards (many times itâs not visible immediately until seconds later).
A very poor update to something that has been consistently stable, at least for me, for many years.
