One: Sometimes when selecting objects off of the page the mouse goes way beyond what I intended to select. I have to go back to full page view to get back where I was. Very annoying.

Two: I'd like to have the option to easily be able to separate the shadow from an object, making it its own discrete object. In that same vein, I'd also like some other options with regard to shadow transparency, making it like regular transparency(i.e. lighten,darken, stained glass, etc.)

The reason I want to be able to separate the shadow is that often times, the perspective is wrong on the cast shadow. This can be easily rectified if the shadow became editable.
