[TYPO3-dev] Change in BE context menus?

You should try to reproduce this change of behaviour with two installs 
running side by side. If it really changed, then report it as a bug 
(regression) on the bug tracker.

If it is really a change of behaviour (and it may, I do not say the 
contrary), then best would be to be able to say that the change occured 
between version 4.2.x and 4.2.y where y = x+1 and not between 4.2.3 and 
4.2.6. It may help a lot pointing out what changed.
