"Recents" Dropdown Menu is inconsistent

The option to add an unconnected person to Family Tree is accessed through the "Recents" dropdown menu. This dropdown menu is inconsistent in format depending on how you access it. This has caused some consternation. The "Recents" dropdown is accessed by first (from the Start page) selecting the 'Family Tree" drop down menu, then selecting one of the 6 submenu options (Overview, Tree, Person, Find, Following, My Contributions). After selecting one of these 6 options, the "Recents" dropdown menu then becomes available. However, the option to "Add Unconnected Person" is only available if you are already in the Tree or Person submenus when you select "Recents". It would seem that this "Recents" dropdown menu ought to be consistent regardless of the submenu that you are in when you access it.

    You have to be in the Tree in order to add an unconnected person to the Tree. That is why the option is found only once you are on one of the Tree screens.

    The problem was that it was only found when on 2 of the 6 options of the Tree screens. I see that the issue has now been rectified and "Add Unconnected Person " can be accessed from the "Recents" menu when selected from all 6 of the Tree screens.
