Comment:

 This might be a security / usability bug if users assume "New Identity"
 will change their exit. (I'm pretty sure this is what the New Identity
 documentation suggests.)

 However, the "new exit for this circuit" in the latest TBB may resolve
 this issue.

 Is this still an issue in Tor Browser 5.0?
