In previous versions of Gemini, when I would update the Status field without actually changing the value, a History record would be logged.  However, in the latest version, a History record is not logged in this situation.

I can understand why this change was made (ie to reduce the number of "unuseful" History records).  However, I considered the old functionality to be a "feature" that helped me to track my time.

For example, I'd set the status of an Issue to "In Progress" with the intention of starting to fix a problem...but often I'd get distracted with other work, so the next time I started to work in the Issue, I'd simply update the status from In "Progress" to "In Progress", which would log a History record.  It often happened that I'd repeatedly update the status to "In Progress" before I truly started investigating/fixing a problem.  When I finally got to the point of resolving the issue, I would look at the History to find the time of the most recent update to "In Progress"...and then I would look at the time I resolved the problem...the difference between the two times would be the amount of time that I would log under the time "tab".

I realize that there is time tracker application, but I found my time tracking method to be extremely simple and effective.

Now to my question...one way of addressing this problem (other than Countersoft reverting the functionality back to it's original state) would be if someone could tell me of a way to log a History record very quickly (ie with a single mouse click).  I could then use this as my new indicator of when I start to investigate a problem.
