True. Same for the transparent on transparent fields while in a Pokemon duel (switching Pokemon & using item).
Can't hold a key to scroll / confirm things anymore either, which makes using Super Potions really annoying (lots of scrolling or single button pressing). I enjoyed being able to do this before, but a lot of updates in the game seem to make the game slower. Perhaps this was intentional due to bugs and there are plans to change things back at a later date.
Cheers.
