I just discovered this and it's pretty annoying.
I frequently will select a timeline in a bin, right-click, and choose "Duplicate Timeline", and then change the suffix to increment the version number - so "Sc23 v4" becomes "Sc23 v4 copy" becomes "Sc23 v5". Easy and straightforward.
In v15, I now have to move the mouse all the way to the upper left corner of the other display, choose "Duplicate Clip" (not intuitive), then mouse back over to the original display to select the dupe for renaming, and now I have to edit both the head (to remove "Copy of") and the tail (to change "v4" to "v5").
What problem was this change attempting to solve?
(Also, the manual on p388 still says that it appends "copy" to the name, which is no longer true but should be.)
I finally updated to v15 from v14 in hopes of a less crash-prone app and have been running into enough of these usability annoyances that I'm still considering reverting to v14 and staying there for a while. Meanwhile, actual usability problems — like the fact than an active selection interferes with playhead navigation, or the fact that with a 2-display setup the Edit and Color pages switch which display the viewer is on — remain unaddressed. I don't get the prioritization here.
The new Keyboard Customization dialog is a nice improvement, but there's still no way to assign a keystroke to change the primary display, something I have to do every time I switch from Edit to Color or vice versa (ideally this wouldn't even be necessary). And the single viewer mode is nice. Even better would be if I could hide the media browser panel while I'm editing.
