Brave Shields Version 1 and Seeing Names of Trackers?

In the following thread, we had a very useful discussion on how to reset Brave Shields so that trackers remained visible:

No Longer Able to See Names of Trackers Blocked in Shield

I’m running Brave on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Today after rebooting my computer (loading new version of Brave?) I can no longer click to see the individual names of trackers blocked under shield. Here is how it used to work for me until this morning: How to see the names of the scripts and trackers blocked by shields This was an extremely useful feature! Has this been taken away?

I tested no-script (which I had previously used) and umatrix: NoScript has a similar interface but everyone should be aware that by default it has a whitelist that should be cleared before usage.
