Just a few things I've noticed so far (with Sitespinner)...

-Undo system is buggy as heck. That's about all I can say about it... some things undo, others don't, which makes editing some things quite annoying if you make a mistake.

-If I make a text object and create a number of vertical links, things always go awry if I edit one. The program beeps at me, I get urls appearing in the text, even though I've just deleted the link text. Afterwards, things continue to get worse until I delete the object completely and start again.

-With the above, it's possible to bold text and then unbold it by pressing the bold key down. This confuses Sitespinner badly, and I've wound up with many strange side effects from doing it.

-Some images can only be resized (with the handes) by two pixels, instead of one at a time, for no apparent reason.

Undo
There have been a number of requests for multiple undos. Here's one. Undo is currently quite limited in its extent.

The Help has the best explanation I have found:
quote:

UNDO command (Edit menu)

Use this command to UNDO the previous edit operations on the selected Object. There are two levels of UNDO. Level one will restore the Object to its state prior to the previous transform. Level two will restore the Object to its state when selected.

When no UNDO operation is possible, the UNDO button will be grayed.

Shortcuts
Keys: CTRL+Z

I don't see an UNDO button, but there is a menu item. Maybe there should be toolbar icons for undo/redo? [Edit: as Phil points out below, this statement is wrong -- these buttons exist already Red Face]

Just recently, I compiled a bug-list but undo did not feature because nobody has been able to pin anything on it. That is not to say it is innocent! So, if you can pin something on it, that would be good. Wink

Text Editor link problem
Your second problem is an accepted bug and features in the bug list.
Discussion and work around.

Text Editor bold text
The bold problem is probably another face of the link problem -- since it appears only when you have the link problem?

Image Resizing
Make sure you have snap-to-grid off. (Options > Guide/Display Options.) Have you tried zooming in to resize with the mouse? If neither of those help, can you specify the objects and sizes that show the problem?
