Something funny about the overview.  It does not seem to work as it did in versions prior to L. I have to "play" with it to get it to display the shaded area which you can drag. It does not reliably display the abbreviated bars (the hints in the overview) so you can navigate. Finally, when I was fooling around to try to get it to display correctly, I discovered that double clicking in the overview creates a new item.

Another issue. When selecting Gantt Properties from the menu or toolbar, Manage Grids opens. However the Gantt Chart section is not highlighted and it remains collapsed.

This issue is fixed in v0.9.25M
 
The remaining issues (Gantt Overview) have been forwarded to the grid manufacturer, who has confirmed the problem. Expect an update in a few weeks

Update on this. They are open to restoring the previous behaviour. The reason for the change, was to improve performance when the Gantt has lots of items. I'll keep you posted of any updates.

OK, thanks.

Another thing. The shaded area which one drags in the gantt overview does not completely cover all of the available time slots (once I get them to display). What I mean is that when you drag the shaded area all the way to the right, it seems to stop just short of the last time slot. There seems to be more room for the shaded area to move and uncover the last time, but it just does not. 
 
Is this clear?

Confirming that Overview does not seem to work as previously and that double-clicking in Overview creates a new item.  Overview seems to have lost it's functional usefulness.

The behaviour of the overview has now been restored to the way it was: The range is that of all the bars in the gantt, not only of those currently visible
