Bring back full text link for pause menu

In the previous version this complete text was a "link" that opened the "pause syncing" menu

In the new version only the chevron seems to open the menu and on higher resolution monitors or when you are trying to multitask and trying to do something really quickly trying to hit the tiny mark is really annoying.

Is it possible to just bring back marking the whole section as a link to open the menu?

    Sad to hear that.

    I guess the intention is that people don't pause the tool, but there's a lot of legitimate reasons why we need to temporarily pause the tool. As a developer I have some files that when modified in a script create the problem that Dropbox locks the file and make the CI script fail.

    Im forced to pause, run my CI tools and then unpause. 
    This new change makes it hard simply because of such a small target. Sadly there's no way to set hotkeys for that either.

    Well, nothing we can do i guess. Thanks.

    Hi RaptorX​,

    Thanks for sharing your feedback.

    I just wanted to reach out directly and let you know that we can't move forward with this idea.

    We can't accept requests for reversions in UI or functionality as these were intentional changes, especially such recent ones.

    I appreciate you understanding.
