3.1 Visual Editor problems

Hi
There are a few things on the Visual Editor page in the new beta (Build 135) that need attention:
• Big thing: On Edit pages, if you go to a field's properties and open the "Edit as" settings dialog, "Time" has been added as a new field type, but "Hidden" has been omitted. Please include Hidden field type.

N.B. Hidden fields on Edit pages from version 3 appear as a yellow field box but the Properties menu item on the context menu doesn't work.
• Big thing: When you insert a new table, you are mysteriously prompted to add a second table. You can cancel to just have the first as a workaround. Similarly if you then insert a row it automatically adds two! In fact all of the table commands have double the effect.
• Is it possible to have vertical alignment as a property for cells? May be you are assuming people can do this in the html code?
• Small thing: When you click one of the Left Centre or Right Align buttons it changes the style because it wraps the text in <P align=left>text</P>. Wouldn't it be better at least in tables to use the align property for a cell, e.g. <TD class=shade align=right>text</TD>.

The buttons don't toggle either. They can all be depressed.
Nice that you can edit Login, registration, remind/change password and menu pages in this version. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=3235&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Hi
Just downloaded build 141 and see that improvements continue. Congratulations...
One thing that you still can't do in 3.1 is set fields on Edit pages as a hidden field type. Hidden fields in 3.0 projects opened in 3.1 appear on the page but you can't access their properties. Is it possible to include Hidden field type?
