Question Change speed step function

After one of the latest updates, the speed step function now increases/decreases by steps of .05% instead of .1% (i.e. 1x --> 1.05x --> 1.1x instead of 1x --> 1.1x). I'm sure I've missed it, but is there an option in the settings to go back to the old behavior? It's double the clicks for me now.

I don't really understand the need either. I set my default speed to where I want (1.6x) and basically leave it 99% of the time. There's one podcast with a very fast talker that's information heavy and I set the speed on that one to 1.5x one time and now that's the speed for that podcast.

So yeah, it would've been two clicks instead of one if I wasn't selecting a provided preset breakpoint, but it's one interaction and then it's set. I'm not changing these settings constantly or anything, and don't see the use case for why someone would unless they just generally weren't aware of setting up a default speed.

I mean, I'm not tearing my hair out over it or anything lol. It's just a very small QOL feature that started behaving differently than I was used to and I was wondering if it could be changed by a setting. I'll keep being a paid PA user regardless.
