Hi Bill,
You are right, it is not working as intended except when Authorize.NET or other direct payment gateway is used. When I changed to only PayPal production on my local machine it is not showing the link to proceed to checkout. Sorry about that, I will fix it now so it will work in the next release. We should have another release before the end of December as there are several good things we are working on that just weren't quite ready for this release but I'm eager to ship them once they are ready.
Best,
Joe
