Affected Version:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use the Gerrit "New Screen" format for changes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The Old Change Screen is visually more intuitive, easier to use, and developers/reviews are used to it. We can revert to the Old Screen in user preferences, but we want to report this opinion so support for the Old Screen does not go away.

Are you aware that the new change screen in 2.8 is only beta? Have you looked at it in 2.9?

Really, the old change is consider to be deprecated and is going to be discontinued in future Gerrit releases. The patch to remove it is pending for review (temporally abandoned).

So instead filing bugs and telling us to preserve old change screen, help to polish the new one that is here to stay.
