- The response is very slow
- When I try moving narrow objects, I end up accidentally scaling/rotating/shearing them
- Sometimes lines don't show up
- I lose the cursor when creating a text area at magnifications other than 100%
- When I try clicking on the canvas to add a new point, nothing happens
- I tried changing the line/text style but nothing happened
- I can't select my text areas (text areas have zero area bounding boxes)
- When I drag to select several objects, sometimes the objects within the drag rectangle are not selected
- The dialog boxes reset themselves when they lose the focus
- The dialog boxes don't have the correct initial values
- Some of the arrow heads come out dashed instead of solid
- Arrow heads point sideways, but they should be pointing another way (e.g., upwards)

- The pointer doesn't move when I used the Go To Co-ordinates dialog box

- Edit text field doesn't register F3 key
- Sometimes doesn't register that the file has been saved when closing an image
- Text field used to create a new text area doesn't regain focus after dismissing the symbol dialog box
- Title bar information doesn't get updated when closing a child window while another one is still open
- Title bar information doesn't get updated when switching child windows
- Composite markers are not included in the bounding box
- Sometimes text gets drawn outside paper limits
- If line paint is transparent and markers set to colour as path, the marker dialog box gives error message
- Text area bounding boxes are sometimes incorrect
- Flowframe and bitmap annotations aren't taken into account when redrawing
- Using the delete key to delete a control point causes whole path to disappear
- Dash dialog box has the secondary dash disabled even though the secondary button is checked

- Printing landscape image containing text results in missing/misplaced text when using java version 1.6.0
- If I transform a text area, the text is no longer displayed correctly when using Java version 1.6.0
- Edit font size and edit font styles dialog boxes always assume 10pt normal font size
- Parshape and shapepar functions are always shaded when there is more than one object in the image
- LaTeX related problems
