I would say the trade off is quite worth it. If people don't like it, that's fine. I'm not gonna take time out of my day to go and fix this bug since it's not a high priority. I am not motivated nor am I feeling well enough to be looking through stuff to try and fix bugs, I am taking time for myself. While I am sure it can be annoying and since it has been a thing for a while, an unexpected change, people may be shocked to find the tradeoff, but it is a worthwhile trade in my opinion.
And yes it's an easy fix, but there are plenty of small bugs in RenX that could be fixed with a little time and due diligence but at the moment I am not really that active in coding.
