New problems with the designer

from GalCiv4 Forums

Lately (noticed it today), when editing ships, the advanced design window (where you can edit the position, rotation and scaling of parts) no longer appears when I select a part I placed. Is this a bug or are there some new settings I don't know about (or forgotten)?

Additionally, when accessing the ship designer from the main menu, I cannot manually change the ship style, only through the randomize button, since when I click on the ship style, nothing happens.

Actually, the second thing I mentioned (the ship style choice before the editor) is only partially true. The selection does appear when I click the little down arrow directly (and not the style name itself). I still don't know how to solve the first problem though. Enabling to rescale dimensions separately is something I cannot do with only design gizmos (and they are harder to use, at least for me).

Sorry, I had "hide basic palette" checked for some reason, so not a bug. However, I think the designer options could have been... designed more intuitively. And a short description for what the settings actually do could have been included.
