It tends to move about a bit!  On the Individual's Information screen it

You need your mouse right on the NAME of the field, and left-click
repeats the last entry (blank if it was blank) while right-click shows
the last 10 entries in that field.

Don't right-click in the field. Right-click on the label next to it.

Where IS the Repeat button?  You used to be able to click (right click?) in

I can't find anything relevant in Legacy Help.
