Xseries :: Nokia X2-00 Message Creation "send To" Field Gone?

nav key left brings up message creation dialog... until now, it used to have 2 prompts: the top one for writing your actual message and immediately under that one, the "send to" propmt where you enter the recipient's number. however, out of the blue, the "send to" prompt is gone. i have to open the "send to" menu with the main nav key, select "number or email" for the prompt to appear

have not screwed around with any settings or the like.... it just... changed
