• Changes in design mode cannot be undone.
• Control selection box and resizers do not overlap other controls and may be difficult to see.
• Can only select one control at a time and general pointer selection box does nothing.
• Control move box for container controls may get in the way.
• Inherited properties are not handled correctly.
• Issues with autocomplete lists.

Please keep in mind that this version may have some issues. This version is still feature-incomplete, but it is progressing. Please report bugs that have not been listed. Thank you.
