Icons forget their size when mockups are loaded cross platform

I use Windows and Linux, my developers use Mac. Icons forget what size they are when theyare loaded up on Mac after being built in Linux.

Moving mockup folder's effect on starting Balsamiq: many "New Mockups"

Open several mockups. Save the mockups. Close the window. Move the mockups you had opened to a new folder. Open balsamiq again. You'll have a bunch of "New Mockups". I suppose the expected behavior would be just not to open so many new mockups. In my situation, I had 10+ mockups going, finished working, moved the folder to organize my desktop, opened to find 10+ new mockups. :P

A comment on the problem "Scrolling while resizing: disappearing objects." in Balsamiq:

Also, I tested in both directions. It's the same behavior regardless of which way the scroll goes. – bluepojo, on October 29, 2009 19:17

I tried to reproduce it myself, and it doesn't always stay disappeared, though it usually disappears until I let go of the resize.

Generally I see this when scrolling down. The last time it happened was on a somewhat complex mockup, and I was resizing the vertical tab container.

Scrolling while resizing: disappearing objects.

If I resize an object such that the view scrolls significantly, the container sometimes disappears entirely. I have to undo a few times to get the container to show up again.

I have a similar issue in that sometimes I have longer words as tags, which overflow the bounding box when they get randomly assigned a bigger size. What's worse is that the sizes get randomly repainted every time the mockup is switched back to, so I never know if my bounding box will be overflowed or not. I've decided just to stop caring, but it'd be nice to tell some tags not to get too big, as it's just a mockup and I want it to look like I've got things under control. ;)

Mockups get marked as "unsaved" when entering fullscreen view.

Save a mockup. Press full screen. Note that now your mockup is marked as unsaved, even though you haven't changed anything.

Selections of multiple items don't have proper undo functionality after running into a "wall"

Create several items scattered about. Select all of them, and move them with the arrow keys all the way to the left till the left most item hits the wall. Now press shift left several more times. This will cause the items to move out of sync, which would be fine in general, but now press undo. The items now ALL move back to the right, including the one that's been banging against the wall for several "left" presses, making it so it's impossible to undo.

Select all after locking an item causes arrow keys to be nonfucntional

After locking an item, then pressing ctrl+a to select all, using the arrow keys do not work to nudge all the items around. I have to click somewhere on the selection to make the arrow keys functional.

Yeah, you can tap left, then right on the arrow keys and it'll "unjump", but it is annoying. ;)

Any progress here?

A comment on the idea "Support undo/redo for tasks in pivotal." in Pivotal Labs:

Because it's not always clear how many items you have checkmarked, this leads to accidental deletes.... SOMETIMES WHERE YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU JUST DELETED. I got a message this morning: Deleted 3 stories, when I intended to delete just one. I figured out what one of the stories was, but I have no clue what the other one is... very very frustrating. – bluepojo, on October 20, 2009 14:31

Wahoo! I love this product.

So. I decided to check out this tool to see if we should use it for our new project.... well instead of adding a few user stories, I added every. last. one. It was that easy. It was a JOY to use this product. Thank you SO much.
