1/ I use Endnote (20.2 (Bld 15709), to be precise.
It recently had a minor upgrade.
Now it's behaving oddly.
It's fixed one problem - previously it would revert all changes to a record if I deleted a pdf.

2/ This matters to me because it's often easier, when manually adding a reference, to copy a previous reference from the same author or publication, and then to edit the new reference. You don't have to retype a lot of details that were in the previous reference.
3/ But it's created another problem. Now, when you save a reference, the references shown disappear, and the selected reference is some random reference with a low record number.
This is annoying.

4/ (Another gripe isn't Endnote's fault. Many medical journals - such as @bmj_latest will insist on putting a link to a pdf version of an article into the URL field. I hate being given links to a pdf - especially when browsing on a mobile device.
5/ I'd rather see the article in HTML format, and download the pdf if I choose…)
6/ Returning to Endnote oddities - when you paste a reference it cancels the search and moves the focus to a random early entry. OK, the pasted one will be the latest one if ordered by record number; but still, this is odd and an unpleasant change.
