Screenshot of missing button

I'm running the latest nightly and the "Edit" button on the right of the "Development host" drop-down has disappeared. Please see attached screenshot - the  location where the button used to be is marked with a red oval.

I'm changing this to P2 because it makes remote development practically unusable, shy of configuring remote hosts on another version of the IDE and using the Settings import/export feature
Comment 2 Alexander Simon 2012-10-09 09:50:29 UTC 
The bug contradicts a bug #215447
Comment 3 stiffuser 2012-10-09 21:26:02 UTC 
Ok I see bug #215447. I looked around and found out that I can access the "Manage Hosts" dialog from within the project settings

Build -> Build Host -> ... 

I had never accessed it this way before and it was a bit difficult to find - this change is likely to confuse existing Remote development users.

Furthermore, I'm not sure it makes sense to go to project properties to configure the build hosts. The build hosts are a global configuration, not a project-specific one.

Perhaps there is another way to reach this window that I am missing?

> Perhaps there is another way to reach this window that I am missing?
Yes. At least 2 additional ways exist:
1. Select "Services" tab view and use pop up menu on "C/C++ Build Hosts" node.
2. View->Toolbars->Remote. In drop down list on remote tool bar select Manage Hosts.
It is a cause of removing edit host from options. 4 places to edit hosts are too big overhead.
Comment 5 Leonid Lenyashin 2012-10-10 09:29:46 UTC 
Please revert the button removal. So far I see no benefit, and quite a bit of confusion
