I think they reverted to this as the default display, but I believe it is an option that can be changed, although I not sure where it is done.

Yes, check the help files. It tells you how to enable IDN. It was disabled by default 'for your protection' due to phishing concerns.

I think if you go to IDN.cctld it will still display without the punycode.

I don't bother with stuff like "help files" because I am interested what the "average user sees" - if it requires looking in the help files, you have probably lost 98% of the market.
