Frustrating Forum UI Elements

A few weeks ago the undocumented "Chat" (?) icon was moved from the bottom-right to the top-right of each Forum topic window (all windows in all Forums!!) and a "mystery bar" was added. These changes interfere with the triple-dot menu items for:

  • Edit
  • Delete
  • Mark unread
  • Add to bookmarks
  • Flag as inappropriate
  • Subscribe to RSS Feed
  • Copy link

They also render the Compose area scroll bar and scroll arrows useless. 

(Tested in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox in Windows 11)

Could these regrettable changes be undone please?

Interesting.  I don't have either of those - in FF - but then I'm not a customer.
