The state of the preview button is kept as follows: shape effects each keep a common state for all shape effect types. image effects each keep a common state for all image effect types. individual color effects keep a separate state (this may be a problem). I added to the bug list to have a common state for Color Effects (first section of the Effect menu). Will also reconsider the default state (to be on).

Dooh!! I wish I would have figured that out sooner on my own without having to bother. Thanks for the tip. I will try harder next time to find my own answers first.

New build fixes this (and several other issues) with unit selection.

Have to look into this more. The installed search plugin is not working.

The 24 pt size should show as 0.33 inch (maybe the field is small and the 0. is not visible). Will add a separate unit option for font sizes as this is a problem.

Got it...I don't know how the floating window was created initially, probably ID10T problem; it works as you suggest above. Thanks for your help.
