You have to go back to the original message. The regression is the loss of
those two buttons from the tool bar.

I'm sorry, but I don't get your statement. I'm fully aware of who is making the
decisions, and I'm corresponding with them right now.
A few years ago, when I posted about a bug in Emacs 23 on the menu bar, I got a
response that started the same way, "I don't use the menu bar, but ..."
In that instance, the problem was resolved. I had hoped for the same
consideration this time.
In short, if you don't use the tool bar, then why not take input from somebody
who does?
If this question _should_ not be directed to those who make this decision, then
to whom should I direct it?
Thank you for your consideration,
