While researching it, I came across a load of, let's say, eccentricites. Is there a feedback form anywhere, so I can log them for you, the developers. Posting a bug list here seems mean and wrong, especially for a version 1 beta piece of software.
Anyway, do you want me to put a list here, or in individual posts so they can be done one by one?
1) If you set a variable size text box and then increase the font size, then the box grows accordingly. However, if you reduce the font size back down from a larger size, the container will not look like it reduces back. For some reason, swap to Code View and back to Design View and it will reduce.
2) Drag and drop of image files to the Carousel component shows files added, but they do not always then appear in the file list when you close the dialog and aren't really added.
3) Carousel component appears to add small white rectangle with curved corners sometimes; these appear bottom left and bottom right of the component. Only occurs in published files in Firefox. Appears correct in Chrome. When you drag the image to move between images, the box appears and disappears on release.
4) YouTube component doesn't work in Firefox, even when published. Simply displays black box. Tested multiple times, and I can't get it to work at all.
5) Map Component - Advanced settings. I suspect this is by design, but there's no way to determine heirarchy. So, you can't set the Zoom level, because if there are more markers to display in the searcg radius it zooms out to diplay them. Search radius has a minimum of 1000, so if you choose a search with multiple results, it can be impossible to get the map zoom you want. It would be good to be able to determine which of these fields you want to be the primary, secondary and tertiary controls. Also had instances where default location marker doesn't load in Firefox.
I've been writing a piece today on Google Web Fonts, with particular interest in the implementation in Google Web Designer: http://www.touchpaper-digital.co.uk/using-google-web-fonts/ I've put the notes in that piece, but briefly, there's 3 things that you might want to add to look at (again, only trying to be helpful here, not nagging!)
1) Given GWD can implement fixed width <divs> for text, then often the preview with a web font doesn't show final results. I had it when using GWD for my own project. I placed the absolute positioned div, sized it, wrote up the text in the font, previewed it, finished off the project. But when I published it, of course, in other browsers (Firefox again), the font rendered slightly different which meant it didn't fit to the fixed width.
Now, I grant this is more a problem with web fonts than GWD, but in a UI that makes so much use of absolute positioning, it would be awesome if some magic solution could be found to ensure this didn't happen. Adding additional space as required in the UI?
2) Removal of unused fonts: you can add fonts to a project, but
a) Why include unusued fonts in the published file? Seems like addition to page load.
b) No way I can see outside of Code View of removing a font from the drop down list once added in the UI.
3) The <link> is added as the last element in the <head> tag. This seems to be the opposite of what Google Web Fonts recommends due to IE: https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/technical_considerations
More on this in the blog I wrote, but I hope some of it is useful.
Thanks.

> I was not unable to reproduce this issue . If you can reproduce this every time in new file ? Please send us more details . Is there any specific File/ File Type which is not added in the list when you drag and drop images ?
3) Carousel component appears to add small white rectangle with curved corners sometimes; these appear bottom left and bottom right of the component. Only occurs in published files in Firefox.

> YouTube component works fine for me in Firefox . Can you please provide Firefox and Flash player version and OS details .

GetSystemDefaultLocalName not found ... Kernel32.dll
The main reason for the 400 error is that the path of the image is wrong.
1) Did you enter the path of the image by hand? If yes, can you please verify that the image path is correct relative to the HTML?
2) Try adding the image by dragging and dropping the image on stage. This will add images under /images folder where your file is saved .
Thanks
