Hiding "View new changes" inside of the "Show filters" is disruptive to workflow without filters showing
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I am not entirely sure why this change was made, but I do not display filters at any given time. With the most recent deployment, now I cannot access the button which says "View new changes since date-time" without displaying all of the filter options.

That's a significant reduction in density of information above the fold, which is an unnecessary hassle for me (after I've gotten through all the changes since I went to bed--I do the 'hit f5 every minute' kind of thing).

Please tweak this change.

(Aside, I do not understand what that whitespace is doing there.)

I'm also not sure about the other stuff that got moved over, but since those are settings-like and probably won't change too often, those seem reasonable there.

@Izno: When you write "Load more recent changes" and "Display changes more recent than X"", do you mean "View new changes since...", or something else?

Izno renamed this task from Hiding the "load more recent changes" inside of the "Show filters" was... 'bad' to Hiding "View new changes" inside of the "Show filters" was... 'bad'.Aug 9 2019, 5:51 PM

Yes. Made that consistent.

Thank you @Izno!
Moving to Need Discussion/Analysis on Growth-Team workboard - it seems some overlook in functionality when Hide option for filters was added.
The screen recording (animated) shows the absence of the "View new changes..." link when filters are hidden.
