- The Licensing Server: The new networked licensing model (required to kill the old dongle) occasionally drops connection when waking from sleep. You have to relaunch the app.
- Plotting (Printing): While printing works, the "Print to Scale" wizard is clunky. If you use a roll-fed plotter (like an Epson T-series), you must manually set the paper size every time; the auto-detect is broken.
- Legacy Plugins: If you relied on third-party plugins from 2015, they will not load. The new API is cleaner but incompatible with old binaries.
