    Widget editor frustrations after going from 4.2.6 to 5.2.4


    First, its great that you can now cut'n'paste widgets (havne't actually tried it yet)

    However: The widget editor used to have nice text boxes for the host and item patterns, but now as soon as you put something in, it turns into a "box" that you can only delete. This is very frustrating as I can't edit an existing patttern, or cut'n'paste hosts or items into other data sets, which I do a lot of. (example in the item for a data set, I'll have something like: "Bandwidth critical RX boolean 1-8.pts1 -> 1-7.pts1 -> x1/0/3.core--Ethernet1/3" which I (used to) copy and paste in as the next item, editing "critical" to now be "warning") this was much easier than hitting select and finding it that way (the device in this example has literally hundreds of things to select from).

    But now, that whole thing appears in a box, chopped off about a 3rd of the way through, and there is no way to copy it, unless I happen to remember to copy the text before selecting/leaving the "select" popup.

    If its too big to fit, its now impossible to tell what the rest of it is (where as the text box would turn into 2 or 3 lines high, and you could scroll up/down if neccesary). the widget editor doesn't seem to be resizeable, so I can't widen it to get more room.

    If the "box" could be clicked or double-clicked to temporarily turn back into an editable visible or scrollable text field that would be great.

    Apparently I can see the whole thing if I hover the mouse over it for a bit, so at least that's something.

    And, the last box wraps around weirdly, turning into a new box:

    I suppose though that these new "boxes" allow items to have a comma in them? (haven't tried that yet)

    next comment: how do I see the next 4 items? And it would be nice to have the option to align the values in a column (also to pad the graph legends when you want to compare two widgets, but the differeing legends between the two wigets make the graphs slightly different sizes)

    want compare traffic and cpu, but can't get the graphs to align, except by putting it all in the same widget, which doesn't always work well: (for instance, I may want to put something else on the right legend for traffic)

    Also, ability to do stacked or other types of graphs (like what "classic" does)
