Severity: normal → enhancement
This problem, is increased from the user perspective because of the removal of the heavily used history drop down button.   In previous releases the dropdown button would lessen the impact of this bug.

The removal of the button from the UI, was undertaken via a bug sheet without any consideration to the usability and established usage by end-users.
