I just wrote up my pet peeve:
The other thing I wish Mockups would do is give me an easy way to select the stuff inside of a dialog box, or other container. I.e. when I want to select the items in a dialog, I often end up selecting the container instead. I think it would be a little nicer to make the insides of the dialog box not so clickable. Maybe just the edges of the dialog box clickable would be well enough, then I could group select the controls inside.
This is meant to solve my problem, but in my latest version of Mockups, this doesn't work. When I shift drag, I don't get a lasso at all. In fact, it just appears to annoy me. Also, I liked the smiley face application icon in my task bar better. the one you got there now doesn't really look like anything.
"holding SHIFT when the mouse is over some controls will ignore them so that you can drag-select other controls. This is a small change but it’s pretty handy, here’s a quick video demonstration:"
