Mask View mode ( as a supplement … )
I was hoping to stop seeing this silly “permanent” mask mode (= introduced with PL7.5.0 Build 176) that appears unless adjustments are made. This doesn’t make editing easier or safer, it just creates additional and unnecessary mouse actions.
Additionally, the previous mask layout

is quicker to use. – To switch from color mask mode to black and white/grayscale display, I only have to click once (and no drop down to then choose …).
And – can’t we get an option that allows the user to pre-select which tools will be displayed with which mask types? This would make the whole handling much more pleasant.
Similar as with Nik 7, it is easier if, for example, the black and white/grayscale mask appears when setting control points – however, when using the brush or auto masking, the color masking.
For a pleasant UX let the user customize how he/she wants to work!
