Adding one more deficiency with the new selector handles: it's more difficult to find the center line of shapes. The old selector handles had small black boxes along the sides, small enough to eyeball a center line pretty quickly. The new handles are much wider, making it harder to find estimate the center lines. (I've learned to turn the Show Rotation Center on, and use that, but it won't stay on!)

I've been using the new selector handles daily for a year, and I still yearn for the intuitive nature of the old handles. The fat dashed line is constantly interfering with my desire to see edges cleanly. Hope Xara will find a better solution.
