I often find it handy to reply to one message in a gmail conversation and change the subject to start a new conversation. Use to be that to do that I clicked the Reply icon which brought up a Reply area, in the Reply area I clicked on the To field which changed the display, and then I would see little grey links "cc Bcc Subject" in the lower right. Now all I see is "cc Bcc." This Topic prompted me to look again, and next to the To field there is a little box with the Reply icon and a down arrow-head. Clicking that reveals a drop-down menu and one of the options is "Edit subject." Putting that option there effectively hides it and means that something that was once obvious to new users would seem not to exist, and to experienced users would seem to have been removed. Maybe I'm dense--well, some would say "maybe" isn't necessary--but a box with an icon and a down arrow-head didn't say drop-down menu to me, and even if it did, it wasn't intuitive that I would use it to find the "missing" option.
I hope this helps. And here's my request to put the Subject link back where it was if only for the sake of new users.
