Manually crafting on ps3 with controller is slower now!

[HEC]

Think need to be changed back or {add} option where "Toggle wouldn't lose focus" even if a window opens

I totally agree - it's pretty annyoing not only during crafting where you now need to use unnecessary extra button presses but as I use hold / mixed modes with xbars up all the time it's messing pretty hard with my routines as the damn bar keep closing all the time. Let's say I'm in dungeon and have the bar up with primary actions there and then pop up screens shows (like on the start of training duty) and - BANG - damn bar is gone. Or you need to type quickly something in the chat - again - BAM - bar's gone! SO ANNOYING and inconvenient now! Please bring back the old functionality as an additional option(s) - Hold Old/Legacy and Mixed Old/Legacy as the current "improvement" made the hold feature basically useless at it's current state. You can also look into adding a "shift" mode where you press L2 / R2 to bring up (and hold) bar and then once you press action button it will go down again. This is the worst possible way to "fix" stuff - if you want to have new mode(s) - ADD them instead of replacing the current ones working quite fine.

Originally - reading the patch notes about this particular change - I thoug it will simply make the bar "inactive" (= not to react to any of it's buttons) while not in focus or overlaped by other window which would be quite fine in almost all situations but not to close completely like this.

So what's the problem?

The "problem" is that SE "fixed" something what didn't need fixing in a first place and the xbar now closes on each fly's fart ... It might not be as important for players not using (or used to) Xbar but for those who did it's pretty big and inconvenient change.
