I am not sure what would be more beneficial: post one post at a time, or collect some notes before hand, like in this post? I am afraid to post too much of the minor stuff; sorry if I do. blush
I have listed tickets where I've found them for voting/comments.

1) 2 tools changed their behavior for users who are assigned system-level roles:
a) Choice tool now displays 'Sorry, only enrolled users are allowed to make choices" to the Admin and Manager. It was reported before, but I guess the fix did not commit: MDL-23448
b) Survey tool displays this to Admin and Manager "Guests are not allowed to submit surveys" MDL-22341
2) Quiz interface:
a) When we add a new question, we are now presented with a pop-up window "Choose a question type to add".
Related ticket/discussion: MDL-18355
Is it possible to revert to the old behavior or allow it per installation, and display the list of suggested question types either right on the page or as a drop-down?
If this is not possible on the Quiz interface itself, then in the Question bank at least?
Such pop-ups are tricky to handle and support. For example this particular pop-up does not appear right away in the Question bank, depending on your connection and browser. When I go there, I see the list of suggested question types right on the page, then after a second the list disappears, and after another second the pop-up shows up.

b) There is "Add a question" button on the "Edit Quiz" page, which is used to create a new question, and not just add the existing one. Probably the text “Create and Add a question" would be clearer to the users.
Related ticket/discussion: MDL-20263

3) Suggestion: Allow conditional settings not only for Activities/Resources, but for Topics/Weeks as well. MDL-24419
This would be quite a time saver.
Lot's of users look for the automated release of one week worth of materials after another. Setting this for 15-20 individual activities/resources is time consuming. smile

Separate discussions definitely easier.

2) a) No, you can't have the new UI back.

The transient page-load mess is a bug. A bug I thought I had fixed. Grrr! Please file a bug about that. The list should be invisible until you click it.

By the way, you can just double-click on one of the question types to select it. I thought that was a useful short-cut, but I have not yet been able to think of a way to make that discoverable. Any suggestions.

Also, at the moment the pop-up appears in the middle of the screen. I was thinking about making it appear beside the button instead (if there is room) so, more like a dropdown menu again. Comments?
