Description Alexey Chernov 2011-10-31 16:14:54 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Back button which used to appear in nested menus to the very left of the menu is absent in 4.7. I consider it's a big usability bug as new way of nagigation (using string at the top right corner) takes enormous time to go back compared to Back button.
I think the button should be returned back.

I attach an edited screenshot. Unfortunately, I have no screenshots of the menu with the button so I painted it by myself (black). The string which took over the button is selected with red. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Kickoff menu.
2. Go to some of submenus.
3. Notice that there's no Back button at the left side of the menu anymore.

Actual Results:  
To return back you need to find special navigation string, decide what item was you previous one, find it in the string and click it.

Expected Results:  
If there were Back button, you'd need just click it and that's it.

Could someone comment on this at least before closing? Perhaps there were some discussion on this subject before the button was removed.
