This one could just as easily have been an unintended behavior of FGC rather than a bug in FGU, but my gaming group has been doing this for years.

If you hold down Alt while throwing a single d20 into the chat window in FGC, it will spin like a top rather than rolling around the chat box like normal. It works in every ruleset we have ever played in FGC, but only with d20s and only when rolling one-at-a-time.

Sadly, this no longer works in FGU. It was probably never intended behavior to begin with in FGC, but no harm in asking. We like doing it when rolling a life-or-death roll to add some suspense.

No, I don't think it's coming back. It was never in Unity - only in FGC. I don't know if it was an intentional thing in FGC or not.

It was an intentional "Easter egg" in FGC. I would guess that it was some original proof of concept test code - that was neat enough to be left in the original engine. I suspect the devs have higher priority things to do for FGU - but might make it back as a QoL thing if enough people wanted it back. :)
