I absolutely agree!
We are still running 2017 CAMduct for this very reason.
Our daily workflow depends on the functionality of the 2017 Print Preview regime to get the Reports, Labels etc that we want for each job without wasting time and stickers.
I cannot understand why this was changed, I can't see any benefits from the new scheme.
It's a shame some of the things that need fixing weren't given the time that was spent on this rather than changeing something that was working just for the sake of change.
