The change is not brand new.

Here’s a sub-thread of complaint and explanation from ~2 weeks ago. I suspect the difference is when an individual device’s cached copy of some scripts update to current. And I suspect there’s an interaction between device screen size, text size, etc.

Here’s another thread on point from early Nov.

> I noticed there’s now a Build Poll setting option added to the other options, and it’s sitting right under the Hide Details, which means the Blur Spoiler is sitting at the bottom now - I keep accidentally hitting the Build Poll instead of Blur Spoiler, and I have to scroll down to see it. It seems it’d make more sense to have the Blur Spoiler sitting right under the Hide Details, and maybe place the Build Poll at the bottom instead? Not sure if this belongs in Site Feedback or here…move if nee…

I suspect this thread belongs in Site Feedback since it’s a Discourse technological question, not an rules or mods question.

The OP here may just now be seeing it, but it isn’t new to the rest of us.
