Recent folders are gone in the new update of Sequoia OS 15.1

I just updated to the new OS yesterday and noticed that one of a very very very useful feature which is 'recent folders' is now taken away.

For example, If I save a file to a specific folder on my computer using Microsoft Word, and then later on want to send that file as an attachment in email, while browsing for the file the recently accessed folders used to appear in the field (as shown in the photo) but now it is just showing the path to the folder which we are currently in, and nothing more. This is extremely inconvenient as I have to browse to the specific folder manually. is anyone else annoyed by this new update also?
