Assigning a new module has UI problems (regressions)

When assigning a new module, the page layout and process for the user have changed. I'm comparing a Tiki 27 to master - I don't know whether all the changes were intentional but it kind of amounts to a "mini-revamp" with maybe a combination of intentional changes and unintentional results.

In Tiki 27, after clicking the "Add module" button, the page that displays has the "Edit module" tab open and a selector to choose the new module and, below that, the "Module Options" button. It's very straightforward and uncluttered. When you click the "Module Options" button, the page opens to the "Basic" tab where you select the module zone for it, etc.

In master, when you click the "Assign new module" button, the same page displays again, cluttered with the tabset containing the module zone tabs and already-assigned modules, with the "Assign new module" button displaying again, then down below the tabset is the selector to choose the module. The button was already clicked; it shouldn't display again. The tabset is just in the way. It isn't needed in this step of the process.

I think the problem is because the tabs aren't quite right. Initially when you navigate to the admin-modules page, the tabs are "Assigned modules", "Custom Modules", and "All Modules". When you click the "Assign new module" button, the page displays these tabs: "Configure new module", "Custom Modules", and "All Modules". But the page also displays the assigned modules. These should display under an "Assigned modules" tab, not under "Configure new module". This tab arrangement can be seen after clicking the "Module options" button, after selecting a module. Now the tabs are "Assigned modules", "Configure new module", "Custom Modules", and "All Modules". This is how the tabs should be on the previous page.

There's another problem in that when you do arrive on this page, to edit/configure the module, there are four new tabs: "Basic", "Module", "Appearance", and "Visibility". In previous Tiki versions, the "Basic" tab is open, which is the logical choice. In master, though, the "Module" tab is open and the user has to switch tabs to "Basic" to specify the module zone, module position, visibility to groups, etc. that I imagine are generally set first, and which was the case in older Tiki versions.
