Serious Problems With Direct Offline Processing

This is what annoys me
in the menu “audio” you have “direct offline processing F7” and the old “Processes” however BOTH open the “direct offline processing” interface. This is redundant, 1 entry is enough?
for shits and giggles choose “normalize” from the “processes” menu, click apply waveform goes up. Now choose “discard” nothing happens, you have to either right click and delete the event on the left hand side from the context menu, or press crtl +z. What’s the function of “discard” then?!?
