A classic example of this imho is the "create filter" dialog in Gmail. Used to look like this https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/3Bjwe3vYdJTAr9L6oV... i.e. had a bunch of options for what should happen when an email matched the rule, and also a "also apply this rule to existing email" checkbox.

Now it looks like this https://bleakton.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Create-rules... . Some designer obviously thought, there are lots of checkboxes for what should happen when an email matches the rule and the "also apply this rule for existing email" is also a checkbox so just put them all in one row, despite it having a completely different meaning.



maybe the thing to do would have been to just have two different buttons instead
