Dear Xara...

Since Xara Xtreme 5 and before, I have been able to apply a Default envelope Mould and use the four control points and their control handles to readily and easily adjust the mould's contortions.

What has happen in v17 and Pro+?

The same moulded shape copied from an earlier version has controls that are shown only when clicked on and the handle nodes flash up but then disappear, muting into the colour of the background.
My default background colour is grey so they simply disappear. I have to go Outline to get even a sniff of a clue where thing lie.

When selecting, the handle has no head to aim for and grab, rather you dither around until the pointer changes and you click and dive - missing more than not.

What have you done?
My answer - you have destroyed 95% of the original functionality! Those with less than perfect vision have probably abandoned your product.
