Maybe you should pay attention to what buttons you click.

Or maybe the buttons I click shouldn't suddenly change without warning? This isn't a case of a user ignoring an important dialog box then wondering why their computer doesn't work anymore; the button just suddenly started to do something different, which is terrible user interface design.

To put it another way, how am I supposed to get anything done when I'm spending all my time making sure the interface doesn't change beneath my feet?

From what I seen, the buttons didn't change, send has always been where it was, just another one was added.

It replaced the Send And Archive button that lives next to Send. (Adding a new one is still a bad idea, imho, but would have been borderline forgivable)

Mine just says "Send", I don't remember seeing a "Send and Archive" button

You can enable/disable it in the settings, maybe you have it disabled?

Send and Archive is my default button, which is triggered when I press Ctrl+Enter on a reply.

There were several problems with the implementation so it didn't matter if you pressed the correct button. As @Mithaldu mentioned above:

    Nah, the bug is that it actually triggered on the normal send button as well, for some people.

And here I thought UI/UX was all about "not making the user think"...
