Quite likely. I just did what I have always done.
Indeed, I went through the steps on 7 and 8 simultaneously. To check what I was doing. Just done it again. Very very different.
If version 8 suddenly throws users into Tile mode, then they will be similarly confused. This is because Tile mode now looks just like Table mode. It doesn't in Search 7.
In other words, if I am confused, along with others it seems, it is because X1 8 is confusing for experienced users in how it now works. Make it start in the previous mode, the one that resembles X1 6.7, and we will not be confused quite so easily. There is no Tile/Table mode that I can see in 6.7. You are going to have to explain this to people.
