Same thing here. The old behavior was exactly as Chris described. The new
behavior is that Z enters edit mode as before, but Z again goes back to the
*beginning* of the cut section, while Esc goes to the end if your present
position is between the cut points. With the old behavior, even before the
commercial notify box came up, I could press Z Z to verify then skip. With
the new behavior, you need to wait until you're at or past the first cut
point, then press Z Esc.
