Since I loaded 2007a, I am finding that horizontal changes in smart
lines do not behave as they used to, and the behavior is erratic and
useless. For example, I cannot successfully edit a hooked, above the
staff, smart line. I don't think this is intentional or correct
behavior. To me, it is a serious new bug.

Ah, then see my other email. Measure-attached smart shapes are
defined by where they attach horizontally in the measure. If you
change that, by elongating the shape or moving it horizontally, you
are not just changing a positioning option, but rather changing the
fundamental definition of the shape. It would be like having one
note-attached expression which you want attached to different notes
in score and parts -- it goes against the base definition.
This may not be the most satisfactory implementation, but I think
there is real logic behind it in terms of the way the program works.
(I also do well understand why it's desirable from an engraving
point of view to have hairpins, for example, with different lengths
in score and parts.)
Aaron.
