Yeah, there's certain sections it doesn't work with the rt-click anymore (during the interview).
It appears to be in any section they re-wrote the software for....basically, any section where you enter it...and you get the rotating blue circle for a few-30 seconds before it opens. Probably rewritten subroutines in a different language than the original software...where..perhaps the original Q&A was integrated into the software and not a subroutine. (I'm not really a current software person...but had a bit of programming 30+ years ago....you know...Basic..Fortran...assembly code)

.If you want to see the difference with the rt-click Supporting details availability, in the interview...
Go to the Deductions&Credits page...in the quarterly Estimates section.
1)......enter the "State estimated taxes for 2022" menu item, you get in immediately, and you can rt-click in each $$ box to also get immediate access to the pop-up to either open a Supporting Details Worksheet, or create one if one does not exist.
....On The Other Hand...
2)....enter the "Federal estimated taxes for 2022 (Form 1040ES)" menu item??? and you get the blue circle (Please Wait) first, (as the software wanders off to open the subroutine??) ..then rt-click on any of the $$ boxes and you get....nothing...
So they rewrote the Fed Estimated taxes section....but not the State....to what purpose...who knows. Maybe the program got too huge and became unworkable without rewrites for some sections....and resulting slower response in many places.

I have back to 2013 desktop still installed...I just checked and that Federal Estimates section was rewritten for the 2018 software (i.e. could still rt-click to get the SD sheet for Fed estimated taxes up thru the 2017 software).
Same for Med Expenses interview.....rt-click for the SD sheet worked for 2017 taxes, didn't starting for 2018 and beyond.
