Hi. AFAIK there have been no mysterious 'changes' - my Web client looks the same this morning as it did last night. Tags are at the bottom, not the top; can't speak for other layout. It's possible to change between versions of Evernote in Settings - maybe check to see whether going to a different version gets things back to rights. Previous versions of notes would be available in Note History which is a paid option - but you need only upgrade only for a month if that becomes necessary.
Ha! Cake, meet icing. (Or perhaps "wound, meet salt" would be more apropos.) As I noted in a recent comment, I'm already (apparently) using the "old interface." I took the suggestion and flipped versions to see if perhaps that might set me right. It didn't. It actually destroyed all my bullet list sub-indents for every ... single ... note ... ever ... created - and across all notebooks, to boot! I panicked and jumped back to the "old interface;" the now de-indented bullets persist. So, all my indentations are lost. ((sigh)) And the inter-line bullet spacing is still randomly inconsistent from bullet to bullet.

When you are in the web client, at the bottom right edge of the window is a button. There you can switch between the beta and the classical editor.
From your description you are in beta.
Hmm. There is no button at the bottom, right. There is a button at the bottom, left - its the "account" icon. When I click on that, there's an option "Switch to the new Evernote Web" ... so I'm guessing I'm already using the "old" version now.

No; Chrome.

Literally 24 hours ago, the user interface for the web version has drastically changed.
Is this a real change or did I mistakenly activate a "new" or "beta" user experience?
I ask, because I do not like it ... at all.- Tags are now at the top, not the bottom.
- I can no longer tag from the keyboard, i.e. type tag, space, type tag, space, etc. Now I have to click, type, click, type.

Padding space around bullet list items is all kinds of wrong ...
- too much space between bullets
- random bullets have yet more extra padding below
- sub-bullets have yet even more extra padding
- a huge gutter/gap between the notes/notebooks column and the body of the current note with no way to adjust, resize, etc.
I mean, honestly, the bullet lists are a mess. At a quick glance, my lists appear bloated, looking double or even triple spaced at points.
I just opened Evernote this morning to continue with some notes and I was slapped in the face with ... this. I don't know if anything else has changed yet ...I have been using Evernote for a long time. Whatever is going on has "retroactively" affected thousands of my notes.
If this truly is a UI/UX change - and not a mistaken settings change on my part - is the kind of "snafu" that caused me to walk away from Evernote several years ago.
I've only returned to Evernote in the past six months, and this time with a free account. (I paid for years only to have "things change" to such a degree that I found the system unusable.)I have always used Evernote primarily for project notes, project to-do's, and idea capture. Layout and formatting is critical for me. You break that, you break my flow - and it just broke. It sounds silly, but the last time I left Evernote, it was because they changed the rendering of the "divider line;" what was being rendered as a simple separator suddenly had new formatting rules resulting in divider lines "moving" and looking like title/body dividers. I formatted my notes to use a divider as both a block separator and a title/body separator; suddenly every use of the divider was transformed into a title/body format.
This time around, I hope it was because I accidentally changed some setting; I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me how to revert because I can't seem to find any option to do so. If this is a new UI/UX change to Evernote, we'll have to break up again. They cannot keep changing how text is rendered and expect users to continue using their service. :(
Overnight changes, or is it just me?

NOT A RANT. Just telling it like it is ...
Sad to say, I'm done with Evernote. I don't have the time - let alone the mental energy - to re-port, tweak, twiddle, and reformat all my notes a third time. It's unfortunate that proper technical support is only available as a "paid perk." Had I the opportunity to submit a ticket and find a solution, I may have considered returning as a paid customer.
