Well, I'm not going to show anything like 8.0.0 to "Steve": I'll either show him the latest of the 7 series or wait until about 8.1. As far as I can see "8" is so radically different to "7" that expecting 8.0.0 to be stable is extremely unwise. There are 2 schools of thought: 1. Too much

I'd vote bug. The name of the property (and its history) implies an object that can be selected and unselected. It's too much work to have to compare the property value with the stack name to determine if nothing is selected. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design
