Computer Analysis on Chess.com

I have noticed two things lately in the computer analysis of games. One of them may be a bug the other just surprised me. 

1.) It is very difficult to go back through games now on chess.com. The computer analysis restarts everytime you take the game forward. I am assuming this is a bug of some kind and will be fixed eventually...but it is frustrating none the less. 

2.) I tend to respond to e6 with c5...this used to be regarded as a book move that left you on equal footing. The computer now regards this move as a mistake worth .68 for the white player. (I don't quite understand the point system in the computer games but I imagine that means the move is worth roughly 2/3 of a pawn.) Is the sicilian considered a horrendous choice at this point?

A workaround is to use the keyboard to navigate instead. I think some sort of coding error is causing is causing it to run twice if you press the page's buttons.

 

For 2, see here. It probably says it's a mistake because there's a much better move.
