'Gradle tasks are not showing in the gradle tool window in Android Studio 4.2

I just updated Android Studio to version 4.2. I was surprised to not see the Gradle tasks in my project.

In the previous version, 4.1.3, I could see the tasks as shown here:

working in version 4.1.3

But now I only see the dependencies in version 4.2:

Not working in 4.2

I tried to clear Android Studio's cache and sync my project again, but there was no change.

Is this a feature change?
