Style Window Jumps

[jacortes]

Just upgraded to Flare 8. Now every time I scroll down the Style window and click a paragraph style, the style window jumps back to the top.

This did not occur in Flare 7 and is super annoying. I have my styles named a certain way so they are grouped together and when I scroll down the Style window, I can quickly format my like paragraphs (especially code!).

Can this be changed in Flare 8? Or do I really have to switch back to Flare 7 to work efficiently?

I agree that the Flare 8 U.I. demonstrates some annoying, even some infuriating, behaviors.

I've analogized it to trying to write a document while confined in a small room with an especially rambunctious polar bear cub. Despite a bit more than four weeks in which to become acclimated, I'm still constantly forced to stop doing useful work and re-set / re-position / re-size Flare 8 tools that seem to be responding to some secret imperatives of their own.

I've documented a few of these and filed them as bugs or enhancement requests. In each of those, I've suggested that Madcap do some more user testing on the Flare 8 U.I.; then user test it some more; then test it again and again.

Here's hoping,

Agreed Riley.

I also filed a bug with Madcap titled, "You broke the Style Window!" I was hoping there was some secret option somewhere that toggled this new functionality but, alas, it's just a bug (or a rambunctious polar bear cub, depending on your slant ).
