Isn't that a pretty far out corner case? Shouldn't LP be designed to
work the way majority of its users are going to be working?

I wouldn't be sure about that... I think even I've mis-clicked a few times while working with bugs. Being able to reverse something like that would be important.

Then again, perhaps a "works for me" button would be in order too.

Clean interface, efficient design are everything...

At the very least, it should be moved to a screen that is accessible but
not righ ton top, I think. But that is kind of moot, since it would
require a lot of redesign of LP. The last facelift that LP got was
great, but it needs to have an interface that, IMHO, is exclusively
AJAX-driven. There is far, far too much overhead in the page reload
round trips for, say, 70% of what LP does.
