Upgraded to Prusa Slicer v2.3 - lost bed gridlines and bed transparency - Setting?

I just upgraded to version 2.3 due to changing computers. I was probably on a pretty old version but it was happy and working. 

The new version doesn't show the grid lines on the print bed, which I often used to take rough measurements especially when resizing or looking at someone else's design. Is there a way to turn that back on?

Also, I believe under the old version I could rotate the view so as to look up through the print bed - useful in looking at layers and whether I really needed supports in some areas. Is there a way to turn bed transparency back on? 

Thanks.

Version 2.3 is a very old and out of date version!  You should be using at least version 2.6.0.

The bugs in older versions are not retroactively fixed... only in newer versions, the loss of the image of the print bed texture was an old bug which has been fixed.  As is the lack of transparency.

I updated to 2.6.1 and all is back to normal. When I updated for the new computer I guess I had the misfortune of getting V2.3 that just happened to have these bugs.

Thanks!
