Two Annoyances

1) I'm sure I'm not the only one who has the occasional problem with buttons overlapping. With that in mind it bugs me that if I change text on a button ( for example take out the number of the chapter but leave the word ) the selection box does not change its size in relation to the edited text. Basically if you have ten letters in the text on a button, take out 2 letters, the box stays ten letters wide. Make sense ? As a result most of the time I have to drag in the corners of the text box, which doesn't " snap " to the new size of the text, than I have to re-enter the size I wanted the text to be just to get it back to norm.

2) The arrow buttons not being " nudge ". OMG I can't tell ya how nuts this makes me. Don't know how many times I'm going to try to " nudge " buttons into place before I learn but not having it is just immoral ! Don't know if anyone has gotten used to using the arrows as they are and would be annoyed if they did what they should do ... nudge ... but SONY please consider changing this, I beseech you !!!

These may have been addressed before but I'm in the middle of making a DVD and just hadta vent.

To your first point, I'd rather that DVDA let me decide if I want the text box to change size than deciding for me. Suppose I have my highlighting set to "text rectangle" and I've sized them all to match the width of their accompanying thumbnails? I don't want DVDA fouling that up just because I deleted a couple letters. (Okay, imaginary situation since I rarely use thumbnails, and I usually think rectangle highlights look crap... but I'm sure it's a relevant example for some people. Just not those of us with taste. ;-) Bad enough DVDA changes font size to Auto if I make the text box smaller than it likes.

What kind of highlighting are you using that the size of the selection box is so crucial?

As to the second, yeah, nudge would be nice.
