How to re-generate passwords in the browser extension password generator

What I mean is that sometimes, for whatever reason, I don't like the generated password and want to generate a new, alternative one. In 1P v3 I seem to recall I could just click the gear icon and 1P would dutifully create a new password. I can't see how to do that in v4, at least not easily. There is no button to click on to prompt 1P to re-generate a password. The only inelegant work around I see is to check/uncheck one of the recipe choices to force an update. Even mousing away from the password generator menu item and back does not force an update.
What am I missing?

    Please, please, pretty please add my vote to the feature request. This is possible the one property that I miss from 1PW 3. This is especially helpful when you are using generate "pronounceable" passwords.
