Well, I mean, you're not wrong, however that's not the way users will see
it. The functionality still works fine, but you had to scroll to the side
in the browser to use it, which it did not have a scroll bar for.
Basically you had to know how to use your browser to see that part of the
screen and click thing theres because it was overflowing the screen.
And while all the functionality still continue to work, it was impossible
to use to the point that the people that we expect to use it couldn't
figure out how to use it. Thus the complaints and us having to figure out
WTF happened.
We fixed it already in the plugins necessary, it was an easy fix, however,
this is going to cause breakage and you need to be prepared to deal with
that.if you're only depending on beta, you're not going to find it out.
This will absolutely cause breaking changes only when 7.0 is released, for
a whole lot of plugins.
In other words, if you want to release something like this, which clearly
breaks the admin screens for a lot of things, then you really need to push
a lot more plugins to test and fix the problems beforehand. This is a
MAJOR, and MASSIVE, breaking change. You cannot depend on minor
announcements to get it fixed beforehand. Basically, you have to set up
your game on this one.
