That's right. Alt Gr + 2. Glad to know you are tracking it. – Paulo Abreu, on April 19, 2009 14:51

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this post. In latest version I do not have the same behavior, it's working fine. Thanks.

why can't I use @ character in controls?

I have to use a text editor to write an e-mails address, for instance. Quite anoying. Could someone give me a tip to overcame the '@' problem?

I like to see time report (effort report) as a tool for comparing estimate precision. As a scrum master, I also would like to have a todo option so that developers could report the effort and the time they thing that a specific backlog item will take till end.

I know that daily scrum meeting will also do it, but as soon we have that information, the better.

I do not believe that this kind of tools should be used for billing purposes, since typically there are several task that are also billed that usually team do not add to tracker, such as reunions, brain storming, etc. In my team we only log working time in project manager software, but I believe that non working time should also be billed (coffee break, e-mail replies, W.C., etc) since they are normal routines and after all the developer is 100% assigned to client project.

How about a ctrl + d for the current behavior and another shortcut with actual layering?

I used balsamic for designing my office desks positions.

Sorry,

I do not know other software with this behavior or different behavior at all. I don't use CAD programs enough. I just can say that I was expecting an exact copy ... if the copy has the same height, width, etc ... why not the same layering?

Paulo Abreu replied on March 03, 2009 21:00 to the problem "When I copy & paste a control, layering properties are not pasted." in Balsamiq:

If the expected behavior is to paste something with different layering properties, then there is no bug.

I selected the rectangle that is backward compared with Semnun, Name, etc, lables. When I copy this rectangle, I was expecting to get an exact copy, not a rectangle with different layer position.

Thanks.

Control Copy and Paste do not replicate layering properties.

Can't open multiple files from Windows Explorer

In Windows Vista when I select two files and give instruction to open it, only one file is correctly open, the other is open as if it was empty.
