I think the problem that I had was that you changed the name of that widget. maybe you didn’t and I was just confused… but what I’m finding is that you guys are removing a lot of the things that I’m used to having that I’ve had hacks worked out for that were reliable and now I’m in a hurry to get stuff done and now my hacks aren’t working which is causing me a whole lot of extra work. ?
