I'm keen to revamp the drag & drop system for rearranging workbench layouts.
Hi Mickael,
thanks.
I added "Reducing cost of basic support for new languages" as target.
That item would be a big win for our extenders and users.
The other items fit IMHO well under the Simplify and improve the user
experience umbrella. Feel free to add a textual description and
references to these bugs under this point.
Best regards, Lars
