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 don't see why I should have to wait around for a Service Pack that may not work and also then be in a position where I can not get my money back. Corel X5 is not fit for purpose. Corel has lost the plot in releasing a sub standard product.
I guess I can understand it coming from v12. Version 8,9,12 really fly performance wise. It took me some time to get used to the X versions as they do have a different feel all the way. Hopefully x5 will be awesome after it's first service pack is released.

... unfortunately... been there. :(
Corel Draw bug:When using the colour chooser docker, with the colour wheel, sliding the mouse around in the circle or sliding up/down for brightness causes tons of flicker.
more PP bugs:
trying to erase stuff from around an object... the part I'm erasing is greyish, so I want the transparency grid darker
- tools, options, display... change transparency grid to darker colours so I can see what I need to erase. The new settings don't show up unless I save and shut PP down and then reopen.
When I zoom more than 100%, the transparent checker grid changes to the other colour!... UNTIL you get to the pixel level of zoom... and it changes back! Wow. In fact... even after closing PP and reloading the image... so the bg checkerboard is correct... the colours are brighter in the range of >100% up to zooming almost to the pixel level. Why!!!??? It does this weird brightness change regardless of if there's anything on the screen other than the background.
I'm not sure if this is a bug... it sure seems like it. PP pops up a messagebox telling me that we're out of memory. The program hasn't crashed or frozen... just a colour chooser doesn't show the big colour wheel. I open up task manager and look at the memory usage. I have almost a GB remaining... memory isn't even close to out.
With overscroll set at 100, you can't erase stuff that's part of an object if it's out of the page area. This is maybe not a bug, but it seems like a reasonable thing to be able to do without having to resize the object down to the page size just to resize it up again... reasonable for erasing (not painting). After having cut up an object using lasso etc., if parts are hanging over into the overscroll area, those mask edges aren't refreshed when the image is panned.
I appologize for cross posting this next part, but it's a bug and it is related to some wishlist stuff too:
Here's a screenshot (below) of a docker problem when there are two dockers side by side. The "objects" docker's titlebar is gone and the whole docker area has "color" over it in the title bar. I just noticed that the other dockers' text (the ones below color) are gone too! ... and if you minimize the lower docker, it goes too low and the arrow and X are partially occluded by the status bar at the bottom. This same problem happens in CorelDraw too.
... and you can see the lack of space under the thumbnail extents mode button etc. at the bottom that looks like there's something else underneath because the bottom of the buttons are lower than the edge of the drawing area.

perhapas you have some options active, such as include color profile (not supported by older versions like X4)
