Issue1:
I completed you tutorial on 'google maps / show location' and its showing the wrong information. I am in the US, but its showing a location in Iceland. The then used bing maps to check my location and it was totally accurate. So, I do not understand whats happening.

Issue2:
It appears that you cannot copy and paste from an external document into the builder javascript window. I get it. You want to limit the script kiddies from pasting intrustive code into the window, then again, what legitimate user want to code the same things over and over again?

Issue3:
Javascript debugging. I got caught for an hour because I was missing an apostrophe.

Issue4:
In coding and testing, commenting has always proven to be invaluable. As you toolbox is, it does a great job at speeding up productivity for simple stuff, but when it comes to stuff that would be more complex, coders resort to trial and error and so commenting actions and events would be ideal advancement in what you currently have.

The location thing must have been an anomoly as it is now showing the correct location. The rest of the issues are now downgraded to suggestions.

Issue #2: Were you using Chrome? It started happening about a month ago where copy and paste works very badly in Flash player that ships with Chrome. It works fine in Firefox. We will be switching to pure HTML5/JS builder in the next few weeks so this won't be an issue at all.

Issue #3: We usually use Firebug or Chrome Dev.Tools.

Issue #4: That's a good point, and feature. We will be able to add it to our new builder.
