Questions about nesting containers...

I cannot figure out how to easily insert a container into a project without nesting from the container above. Everytime I try to move a container in the elements pane it nests into the item above it. Suggestions how to insert a container without nesting in another one?

Has anyone noticed any of these bugs I have encountered:
1. The program crashes when trying to insert an image > 1 mb.
2. Sometimes background images will not delete. When the delete button is pressed, the item does not show in the list, but the image remains. This is true in the spiritual theme.
3. If you close a project, and then try to open another one, the open and recent menus are greyed out. You have to close the program and re-open it again to proceed.

Sounds like you may have a corrupted install there

no problems as you describe , especially if it's the project file you put up for download (the one with the nested menu problem0 I can do all of those things without any problems/crashing or errors

and on that project file you have more breakpoints than Barry Sheen :) (GRHS)

HI Larry,

maybe point 2 is not a bug.
In the Vision Theme on for example Page "About" there are containers that have more then one picture attached as background-image. If you go to the Styles" pane you will see that there is a background-image defined for "apply styles: selected classes" and for "apply styles: for this element id only" (indicated by the yellow point unter "Background").
You will have to remove both images.
The same issue can happen, when one defines different images for different breakpoints.

Thanks Frank. To move a container or object from parent to child easily. is something I need to do. I'm using a Mac and the ctrl right arrow and ctrl left arrow don't work. The up and down keys do. Anyone know the right keystroke for Mac?

Cmd+left/right arrow isn't it?
