Known Issues
- View Selection(Isolate Warnings tool): Please ensure you select a view before opening the "Isolate by Warnings" menu. The plugin requires a reference from the selected view to create a new view. If no view is selected, an error will be thrown indicating that a new view cannot be created.
- Align Tags: Tags with multiple value boxes will align properly, but the elbow to the leader's headline may slightly bend due to the random center position based on the leader head position of multi-value tags(ex. Room Tag with Area). We're working on this and aim to fix the issue in the next version.
