I cannot use the following functionalities which were available in the Previous version like SS6.
- Quick way of accessing most of the commands like 'View Selected Objects Only' by using key combinations like Alt+v+v.
- Using the Tab button to move from one form control (like Textbox) to another from control e.g., While applying a new member load, to move between W1, d1, d2 and d3, previously I could use the Tab button which now seems not working.
- Is there an updated OpenSTAAD version available for the CONNECT Edition. I can see the updated documentation but I am sure if the updated version of the OpenSTAAD module is available.
- While applying the design parameters in Steel Design, if select the members by using 'Group Selection', parameters dialog (sometimes) does NOT update the options like 'Assign To Selected Beams'.
- Labels for Nodes, Beams, Plates etc., gets reset every time when the application is restarted or the mode is changed (from Analytical Modeling to Postprocessing etc.)
- A pop-up is displayed repeatedly saying 'Results database not available' even when the analysis is in progress. Snapshot is attached.

Apart from these features issues, STAAD.Pro freezes frequently (showing a black screen or a blurred image) for a long time when I switch from one tab like Geometry to another e.g., Loading especially when working on reasonably larger models (with input file size of about 4MB)
These may NOT be bugs but I wanted to know if I am missing something to get these features.
