Analysis boards persisting between uses

I am used to analysis boards being wiped clean when I navigate away from the page, however today and yesterday on Lichess they have been persisting. For example, here: imgur.com/a/FMTD24p is an analysis board I had open earlier. I closed it, and reopened it again hours later and the moves are still there.

This is very annoying because now I have to delete all the moves manually if I want to start afresh, and it makes playing correspondence an absolute nightmare for the same reason. I often want to consult the analysis board multiple times per move, but this makes doing so very tedious and time-consuming.

Is this a known issue? Can it please be fixed?

This is an obnoxious anti-feature that should be reverted immediately

100% agree, it is very annoying and would support it being dropped asap.

cross posting for less dispersion.

the point is that deleting a feature for everybody because of own individual specific usage, is dismissing of others own possible needs. it is like thinking you own the road.. and blame all the slomos in front of you.

that is not to deny the individual resistance to change or even persistant annoyance after some time. that may be shared without risking being seen self-centered or worse selfish (nuance, in one case you don't know, in the other you don't care). One can be fixed by new information, the other puts the others in a bad mood and you might reap what was sowed (my English not perfect).

there is rational room between the first option of deletion for all, and the second, figuring out how the many could still have what they prefer.

One should be careful with deprecation reflex based on conformist assumptions (that everyone is like oneself).

I don't know exactly what conversation i just put my finger in.. but the thread started in that way.. so it may be applicable to the whole thread starting stance.

However, with conversation or discussion, i would hope that cooperative remnants in competitive chess player make up, would allow for seeing the possible many usage of lichess. and start working on improving new feature point of friction for some, while keeping it for others.. assuming that discussion can't be made is what transpires from the call for reversion of feature. that is entitled assumption about oneself.

big tribe here. with a competitive slant tendency, needs calming down often.

I don't care for this new feature. Could there be an option in "preferences" so that individuals could turn this on or off? I can see why it would be useful at times but for me right now, it's more of an annoyance.

Well shared. Given that preferences is not strategic developper solution to look at first for all the existing features, it might help if you could explain a bit in which context.

For me, it is only for being able to work and manage my correspondance gaming time chunks AND the possibility to have deep learn from you mistake feedback that this would allow. Well, maybe it would need some extra persistence features for me actually for that last part. but at least from one thinking sessions to the next no need to redo partial work.

i shoud admit though that sometimes i also have that old reflex of wanting to clear my head of past attempts, and usually i could just do bact to game or reload (less clean btw). Now, one has to remember this does not work anymore, and instead there is a double mouse event to clear the active user variations subtree from current position.

any new feature that changes where the same effect would happen gets to be obtained will feel an annoyance at reflex expectation.. i did have that.. after a few days, i will have gotten used to the 2 click sequence.. (might be improve by being a 1 click button.... but maybe the 2 click is mouse slip protection....

it is not like the previous behavior can't be obtained, it is that it is not obtained from the same user mouse events.. just quitting the tab won't do it. etc.... new habits... I have seen worst changes in lichess where some features were not there at all anymore... as recently as month ago. There is no way to get that information back. it has not even been reimplemented or compensated in the forum landing page.... That is not the same kind of change is it.. you still can get desired result.

Did I understand the nature of the annoyance?

my contrasting annoyance: i trust that while not a priority lichess will find a way to get back the equivalent of the function that the amputation took out... i guess patience with oneself and with lichess might help.
