I am unsure whether I should open a bug report / enhancement request, considering that I have not tested 5.1.x. From Stuart's reply, I understood that some things have been changing in the Startup Screen, and that they are still changing. I would guess that having a request for enhancement without actually reporting the behavior of the most current / updated release (5.1.x) would not attract enough attention and would probably be considered an incomplete report. Additionally, the only version from the 5.0.x branch I have tested is 5.0.6.3, so the (initial) version number in which the behavior changed would not be accurate (enough). If I cannot test the current (5.1.x) behavior (because I am not ready to update yet), how would I report a bug / request an enhancement? I mean, I could, but it would probably be mostly ignored, wouldn't it? I think it might be useful, before actually opening a request for enhancement, if someone could try to replicate the behavior / tests in the 5.1.x branch and report it here. Also, testing under other OSes might be relevant too. With more details and tests from different users under diverse circumstances / versions, a request for enhancement might be more relevant and taken more seriously. Finally, I am still unsure whether this is really a request for enhancement or rather a bug report with a regression between 4.4.x and 5.0.x, considering that the expected behavior was working correctly in 4.4.x, it is (partially) broken in 5.0.6.3 (and maybe in all the 5.0.x branch), and I see no advantage from the users' perspective to not have these shortcuts working from the start. Comments about this matter would be very welcome. I hope users can attempt these simple tests and report their results, including the OS and version information, so a potential bug report / request for enhancement would be actually worth.
