Just a general agreement here, I also have some issues with the new design for selections. The circular handles look strange to me but it's an adjustment I can deal with. The dotted outline bothers me more because it is harder to see the edges of the object, though I suspect it was implemented

Thanks. I actually was using jsonImport() with these strings successfully (no wrapper required) but it has a bug on Android that makes it unuseable. That's what caused the problem in the first place, because jsonToArray() doesn't deal with escape sequences. So I went ahead and wrote a decoder
