My post Why does Corel Draw Graphics Suite X5 feel more like beta software? explains everything im having an issue with X5. In an effort to log the issues with this software, Im asking that if your an X5 User and are having file corruption, crashes, freezes and other such fun stuff happening to you killing your time and money while in Draw or Photopaint, please post it here.
In order to keep it all clean and easy for someone at Corel to follow, please only list issues for X5 and not turn it into a discussion out of topic.
Please, there is no need to try to defend Corel here as Iv used Corel since version 4 (not X4), so thats a long time using it.
I'm not 100% sure yet if this is a problem with X5, but I am noticing behavior in the VBA subsystem that appears different from behavior in previous version. Complete details in this post:

If anyone has any input, I would appreciate the assistance!
Thanks,

Snap to perpendicular is not working with Polyline tool
//settin up x4.....
when you finish a line with polyline tool, when you doubleclick on snapped point but with ctrl pressed (to finish line not in snap point) - it makes +another one point right to where this snap is situated.. dunno wtf is it maybe need to tweak in options
more crashes and bugs in PP:
flipping my bamboo stylus from pencil to eraser (turn the stylus upside down to start erasing)... crash. This doesn't happen all the time.
use the stylus button for pan (as setup in the bamboo properties program)... crash. This is reproducible.
load a bitmap fill, change the values of offset etc. a bit... crash
on a 2 screen setup, undock the object docker (probably works with any docker)- dragging the docker by the top area of the docker... works fineBUT!!!...- drag it by a blank area like at the bottom between the "combine" and "delete" icons, or between "create clipping group" and "lock transparency"... the position of the docker is way messed up. It's twice the distance from the origin of the screens (top left).AND, if you are using it in the right monitor, and you accidentally try to move it using a blank area, the docker disappears. It's not turned off... the program still has it active even though it's off the screen. - If this happens to anyone else: to get your docker back, go to menu, object, unclick "object", then enable it again... thank god this works to get the docker back on the right screen.
** every time a docker is moved, there should be a check in the code to ensure the whole docker (the rectangle that defines it) can't be entirely off the screen. A bit off the screen is fine (and preferable sometimes), but it's a really bad bug when an important part of the program is allowed to vanish but remain active. Your code should use the same movement function for using the top or any part of the docker.... problem solved.
in the colour docker, with hsb wheel based selected, right click then click anywhere else... the wheel isn't refreshed.
change the distance units in the options, then go to resample... the units are still the same as they were... you need to restart PP to have the changes take effect.
in colour docker, change background col, del part of bg object layer... it uses the bg col that's on the left in the toolbar... NOT the one I just changed in the docker.
