Comment:

 Hi @LilGames This is not a bug but a deliberate change. The change was
 made because many users found it too confusing that the link opened
 different screens, and they got lost.
 It was not clear enough that the intention was to open the template, and
 many users were not confident in what the difference between a page and
 template is.

 In this case, it is only a matter of one type of user needing one thing,
 and other users needing something else. Its not insanity. Its a need to
 cater for a different type of user than you and me.

 There are plans to change it to a dropdown with more links, but nobody has
 volunteered to start working on these code changes yet.
 The changes are managed in this Gutenberg issue, so I am closing this
 ticket as reported upstream.
