VSTi outputs not selectable like I remember

Hello,
I remember being able to simply click on the additional VSTi’s outputs for them to be activated. Now, they are not clickable. I used to simply click like in the screenshot below to open up the list of available outputs:

But as I wrote on the 2nd screenshot there, I can’t select any of those on any plugin, whether it’s C13 or C14. I swore I used to be able to single-click them and they would activate, then I could even give them an alias.

Now, in order to activate the outputs, I need to right-click on that list of outputs and choose it this way:

Then this list here is where I can choose my outputs.

Was it always this way and I just don’t remember? I can’t imagine having to do the extra mouse-clicks to get there.
What am I missing?

Works on my install.
One has to click in this area:

Johnny, you come through again. I wasn’t clicking far enough over to the left, where you have it highlighted. Thank you.

On a side note (but related) - is there a way to open a new VSTi with e.g.4 outputs already activated, without having to go in and do it manually?

I assume this is only possible via a track preset or a track archive.
