Why is there no longer a link in email to Transaction ID to bring you directly to the transaction?

One thing that has been very helpful in Paypal until recently was, if you clicked the link in a "Payment Received" e-mail that said "Transaction ID", that would bring you directly to the individual payment/order in Paypal.
It doesn't do that anymore. When you click the transaction ID link in the e-mail, it just brings you to the "Transactions" overview in Paypal, with the laundry list of transactions. I get quite a lot of transactions every day and it can be hard to find the individual transaction, especially if you received it some time ago.
I wonder why they changed that? It seems to make more sense to have, in the e-mail, a link that brings you right to that payment in paypal. Can Paypal fix this?
