    initial v1  
    1 Thanks for the explanation.  I agree, "unintentional side-effect" seems apt.  However, I read through #1330 and don't understand how a scheduler restart/priority issue ends up usurping '''established''' and ''working'' taskbar menu functionality in a fix nearly 6 years after it was reported.  As such, I disagree that there was a "good reason for the change" and believe it's a perfect example of an anti-pattern.  When a "solution" has unintended consequences, it needs a re-think and quite possibly re-implementation.

    33I have faith that appropriate separation of function versus modals will be settled in due time for the benefit of ''all'' users.  Until then, I have no reservations using an older version when it better suits purpose:  Activating and deactivating torrents wholesale should be quick and painless, not an exercise in various levels of frustration and futility.
