It's not JUST that you cannot change what view is placed on the left side (i.e, near your mouse cursor's starting position.) Where is the option to "hover" over the bottom tabs? Even to this day, you must click on the tabs to navigate to the section. No option to hover. Speaking of the bottom tabs, the Legacy Launcher requires fewer steps and less navigation to get to frequently used actions. History? Hover over the History tab. I'm there. Places? Hover over the Computer tab. I'm there. Yet with this "new and improved" launcher... History? *Click* on Places. *Then*move up to hover over History. *Then* move (yet again) towards the right to access history entries. Rather than use all the available space for easily accessible hover tabs, they try to cram in as much as possible into this new launcher, and just leave it to the end-user to do acrobatics with their mouse cursor. Sorry, but the Legacy Launcher had a cleaner and more practical design. This same phenomenon is true for Windows as well. Windows 7 introduced one of the best and most practical Start Menus. They botched it in Windows 8, 10, and 11. So much so that there's a third-party open source alternative (named OpenShell) which basically lets you use the Windows 7 launcher on Windows 10. Developers just can't leave good things alone. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
