Most modern apps/os's use some variation of the 3 dots to indicate an options menu. Common sense should tell one after clicking that options menu that an option referred to as "Classic" should bring back perceived missing items. Not really seeing the problem here.
sigh. I've spent 15+ years being a part of UI design and development. You use software I've had input and influence on every day. NDA's, can't say more. Instead of defending UI problems, how about fixing them ? not workarounds but fixing them ? The Classic tracker uses the CPU. Its different. Its still not right that the UI is missing important UI elements, the mode doesn't matter. This isn't a RFTM situation, its a fix the design omission which isn't hard, which probably keeps getting pushed down the list as less critical fix because its not a crasher. When users bring attention to something like this, it will get fixed sooner rather than later, hopefully.
as for the dot menu, its not "common sense" and its not really discoverable. you simply happen to know its there, but most folks don't. other apps have the same "lets throw important things in this obscure place because we don't know where else to put it" problem too and no one knows they are there.
