**BUG** Using "New Opponent" after a game ignores your formula

It looks like, with the addition of the quick game search, even if you create a custom match in the lobby, when you click "New Opponent" after a game has finished the client now ignores your formula. For example, I queued for a 3+2 game with a formula of rating >2050 and after my first game, i clicked new opponent and got matched against a 1950. This did not happen before the quick game search was implemented.
Related: i would like if clicking 'new opponent' in the game window after a game is finished, then own settings for searches are used and not those of the game just played. So if one usually plays eg 2 1 and he just played 1 0 by accepting the offer from another player, then clicking 'new game' creates a 2 1 challenge and not a 1 0 challenge.

And while we are at it: Also would love if the 'rematch' offer by opponent does not hide the 'analysis' and 'new game' buttons. My amount of accidently rematching/aborting rematches/declining draws is legion with these dynamic buttons.
Guess a lot of players have blocked me because i accidently clicked rematch and then immediately aborted, because what i actually wanted to do is click the analysis button.
#2 Agreed with your points.
Also related: When challenging a player to a game, and the player declines the offer, pressing the "New opponent" button sends you to lobby, but doesn't create a new game.
