What I felt as a major omission since V3, was the need to go for the menu during editing a report. I would like it to have the properties window work pretty much like the PEM window, ie. whatever I can do in the menu, should be available in the properties dialogue. Including the font etc.
And I'd also like to see the rest of the functionality that's in the menu, not property-related, on the toolbar. Things like spacing the objects at equal distance, increase/decrease spacing.
