Archicad 15 Glitches

Glitches in AC15 thus far. Can anyone else verify these so i know it's not just my machine or a flawed installation?

1. The Explode command no longer works on polylines. No matter what i do, I can't break up a poly line into its basic parts.

2. Dimension input in the Info Box for objects. For example, when resizing an object from the Info Box, i used to be able to type in the dimension i wanted, and click somewhere else on the screen and the change would take effect. Now in AC15, i must press Enter after typing in the dimension in order for it to take effect. This seems like a small thing, but it's really a major nuisance after a while.

I repeat your tests:
1. TRUE
2. FALSE

1 - True. It just creates another polyline that seems to be grouped to itself.
2 - True. Clicking somewhere outside the infobox will cause the dimension you typed in to revert to its previous figure. What you can (still) do is pause for a second* after typing and it will automatically accept that figure. I'm not sure why this was changed in AC15 as it seemed to work fine before.

* I believe the exact length of time is controlled by the 'Dialog Box Auto-Update Delay' setting in the 'dialog box' section of the work environment.

1 -- True, except for polylines containing arcs
2 -- I've always had this problem, but I suspect it has to do with the setting Peter mentions.

I've had problems with Trace References being saved in TW (don't know if it's a problem in solo projects). Very annoying that I have to drag, rotate, and "Show as Trace Reference" the site topography every time I join the project.
