  Bruno Aleixo I can confirm that the Content Type drop down is back (Australia East). However, I have reports from end users (with Contribute rights) that when they change the content type it's not saving. I need confirm this but I thought I'd mention that here.

  Bruno Aleixo , the behavior is back. If you hit Ctrl-F5, the Content type attribute will not display in the information panel. Clicking on "Edit All" is showing the content type attribute.
