    This is precisely what has happened here.

    The "fix" has caused greater impact than the "bug" it was intending to resolve.

    The proper course is for it to be caught in QA before it goes live and sent back with a message saying "try another approach cause this one caused a regression"

    My real concern here is the possibility that this was the "agreed upon approach" and they thought "nobody would notice". Boy did they get that wrong if this is the case. It's important the community strongly signal a better and more narrow approach to their intended "fix" needs to be taken.
    More about your supposed chosen profession. Lordy lordy.

    I think they just didn't care, but then again SE does or doesn't do a lot of stuff, then is apparently surprised than that the community wants something, or wants something reverted. Kind of just an SE thing. At best they will revert it, at worst it will stay the exact same. SE is kind of a wild card, I'd bet on it staying the same, but who knows SE could surprise.
