I have always wondered about why it seems here that updates which are supposed to make human interfaces easier and more intuitive usually go significantly toward the other directions. I started to believe more the issue is with the other side more than it is with me when I noticed how seeking to create group identity on the basis of sharing some special knowledge could be what moves things behind the scene for that other side.
Look at the example of this TRADING WINDOW (the smallest one in the image) . Before this update I used to be able to enter trades on this site within seconds. This on the other hand made me scratch my head about such capability to make what is easy become difficult. Where do you think the type of order (for example limit or market or day or gtc), and the number of shares should be entered? I even thought that such specifications can be entered on the preview order window and therefore kept pressing that button but nothing happened. It turned out later that in order to find the places where you can enter those values you are supposed to notice and drag that very thin shadow bar on the right side. While one may guess that the portion shown of the window is actually the whole window because the preview order button is usually placed at the end, moving that bar moves the window without moving that button.
