What is going on with LISTS?
I had a simple set of lists for various sites across the country that we used to track the movements of backup tapes. Nothing flashy and no formulas in the spreadsheet. Everything worked fine until today.
The list of views used to appear in a drop down menu now it appears every view has its own tab.
The filter stayed remembered the last state in that if the filter was open when you closed the page it would still be open when you logged in again. Now you have to click on the filter icon every single time.
When updating the date column if you change the 1st cell then drag down to update the rest of the column random red flag errors appear saying there is an error in the cell. This never happened before.
And last but not least if you hit ctrl +p to print the page as a pdf most of the time only the first column of data appears but if you close and repeat a few times (usually no more than 2 or 3) suddenly all the data on the page miraculously appears in the pdf.
I know and understand Microsoft can make whatever changes they want to their products and we choose to use them but come on guys these changes look like someone forgot to lock the desktop when they went for a comfort break and someone fraped their code

On further digging these red flags are sync issues and appear at random when updating any format of cell using the drag down menu. Meaning if a user isn't paying attention and doesn't notice this flag then the relevant cell they thought was updated with new data isn't.. This is potentially an extremely serious issue for organisations with a large number of users who are using lists for high volume data management.
