I’m also experiencing a lot of frustration in moving elements in My Places (either by drag and drop or by cut and paste). Not only do they not end up in the place where I intend them, but the place where I am working often moves up or down in the window, and I am looking at completely different folders.




Yep, same here!

Just as an aside (because it’s probably there and I just haven’t found it yet) can anyone tell me a one-click method to return to a straight down view from a tilted view?




Pressing the 'R' key will reset the view to straight down and 'north up'.

To add another bad working feature (or maybe a bug): When I want to rename a folder by clicking 'Rename' in the menu it works like in Windows: The old name stays, but is marked, it will only disapear when I beginn typing, so I am able to change a part of the name without having to re-type the whole name. When I want to rename a placemark the old name disapears as soon as I click 'Rename' so that I have to re-type the whole name. Here are two screenshots taken immediately after clicking 'Rename':



There is another bug: It was possible to rename something by pressing the 'F2' key in older versions . Since GE version 4 this does no longer work correctly. The 'F2' key only works with objects that were already renamed by using the menu before.
