So disappointed in this first release... I've been using CorelDraw since version 3, and currently using the latest version in Parallels on my Mac. Was excited to tryout the new native version, but I am sure many of you have found similar issues to me.
- No ability to "zoom in/out" using the Scroll Wheel on a mouse. Despite the Menu/Settings config, I can't ever zoom in or out, unless using the keyboard
- No ability to show "scroll bars" at the side of a workspace. Why force us to use the pan tool? I like being able to click-and-drag on a scroll bar to move a large workspace around
- Right-clicking on a Color in the palette does not set Outline Color... now there is two steps to select Outline. Why make it more difficult to use??
- Several "buttons" at the top of the Workspace (View grid/rulers/margins) are actually 'blank' unless selected. How are you supposed to know what the button is for?
- In the attempt to "Mac UI" the interface, we lost the topmost row of configurable buttons... so there is no quick-click to copy/paste/print/open anymore. Now you must use upper screen menu. Why can't I have my customizable buttons back?
- Default selections aren't 'sticky' i.e. I like rulers to be shown all the time... yet every time I open it, they disappear.
- Shortcut keys that used to Align items (T/E/B... top middle bottom etc), now jump to Tool types in the menu. So instead of a keyboard shortcut for align-Top being "T" that now opens a Text Tool.... and I have to click-away to the top menu to align. Crazy.
- Its SLOW. I find it amazing that on the same Mac the Native version is slower than my version running on Windows 7/Parallels!
I've got so many more... anyone else struggling with making this version work with any efficiency at all?

I've been using the CorelDraw 2019 trial version for the last two weeks and i've encountered major flaws on the UI design in regards to how Corel has always operated before.
Colour tools and the usual bottom Fill/ Outline preview are not available.
No link to Corel Photo Paint or Edit Bitmap option
For the shortcuts, it was just a matter of re-orienting myself to the current shortcuts, which i've already mastered them all.
I'd wish to be a Beta-Tester but unfortunately, they havent gotten back to me yet :-(
Yep, my experience exactly. Many tools missing in the Mac version. useless feedback from "support", no willingness to receive community support by enlisting beta testers....
