Hey, we've met! Yes, its a handy little trick for improving efficiency and I can see how the bug would be quite annoying. Get it voted on and that will definitely make it high on the list of bugs for the next release. @Brett: Yup, that was me. Hey, we’ve met!

I posted the bug back when the first beta came out. I was hoping more would see it and vote on it as well. Again it's a great feature! @Deepa: I showed someone at max in chicago this bug.

Stay tuned for specific performance results, I'll publish them here on my blog. @Lordy: I am working on some performance tests as we speak but on a whole I’d venture to say that constraints are faster then heavily nested containers.

If you'd really like to see it fixed, go ahead and vote on it and get someone else to vote on it too. That will raise its priority when we decided on bugs to fix in later releases. I'll also comment on it internally. @Brett: I remember someone showing me that bug at 360Flex in Seattle (was it you?).

On a different tangent, I was playing with the beta 3 syntax coloring (thanks so much for finally adding it to FB) and noticed that the preview for Actionscript and MXML coloring doesn't reflect the current background color (which is confusingly set in a different part of Preferences).

BTW performance wise is it cheaper to use these constaints then nested containers and spacers? I’m just glad that we have advanced constraints!

It seemed like it wasnt ready for primetime , made the whole flexbuilder sluggish and a pain to use . That said, I did see that it had lots of potential and look forward to a re-incarnation in the future , hopefully a bug free one ;) I for one am glad to see it removed ..

I hope it will be brought back in a patch once the final is released. I really prefer it over the old UI. Also I'm really anxious to see the bug fixed for the dual view/undo problem I have...it a great feature that I don't think enough people know able but it's a great was to get around in your projects. https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-7649 Looks like it will also be a future build after the final release.

It's an extremely powerful feature, but like many powerful features it was also somewhat complicated. Looking forward to seeing it come back at some point. Even an option to turn it on or off would be great! Thanks for the heads-up on that, I had wondered what had happened.
