Description
Type: Bug
- The default to Modern UI enabled: It took me a while to find the setting to actually revert to "normal mode".
- Several of the basic interactions with hover feel less desirable or even flacky.
- The Modern UI design feels cluttered and noisy.
- The flattening of the color theme detracts from visual clarity.
