X2a Bug Confirmations

I've found, just by playing around with X2a (won't install it on my DAW, it has not earned my trust yet) the following bugs and am wondering if anyone can confirm, or even better, contradict me (it may be my system but I doubt it).  I submittted bug reports of course.
 
1.  Volume envelopes cannot be centered (Edit-Preferences-Display:  Display envelopes on a percentage scale doesn't work).
 
2.  Dim Solo doesn't work with audio tracks
 
3.  In tempo view (only when tempo is docked), the vertical zoom doesn't work (wow!  Now it does work, before it didn't and all I did was re open the program.
 
4.  Many color options don't work, as we all know by now.
 
5.  When tempo view or controllers view is part of a screenset and you switch to another screenset and return the the former, both views don't stick, i.e. the vertical (tempo view) and horizontal (controllers view) bars revert back to an unwanted default
 
6.  Sometimes screensets do not translate correctly into other files, there's often a certain amount of adjustments that become necessary. 
 
7.  Staff view context menu requires a CTRL-right click, instead of, like all other versions, just a right-click (that is the purpose after all of context menus, accessible with just one mouseclick. 
 
8. Sometimes when choosing a thirty-second note in staff view, I get a note with "0" note length.
 
No one small bug stops me from being productive with the program, but when they start adding up I start to wonder if I am upgrading or downgrading.

    @JSG - thanks for identifying reporting these bugs.  
    However, I'm floored that no one else with X2a has chimed in yet.  Hopefully soon.
     
    Since the backers produced X2a, which addresses X2 bugs and adds functionality, but itself introduces bugs and a regression of functionality, it would not be prudent for me to upgrade from X1  to X2 at this time - at least until a stable X2b release is available.
     
    I don't have the stamina to endure any new strange behavior or loss of functionality.  I would forever be second guessing my hardware / OS / OS patches / drivers / etc.
     
    I do this kind of stuff for a living during the day.  I'm looking to use the other half of my brain at night and on the weekends.
     
    I have faith that that Cakewalk are hard at work addressing these issues as we speak and that the X2 platform will stabilize soon.

    1 Don't know what this is about 
    2 It does work
    4 Not sure that one could call any of this a bug. 
    5 Not sure
    6 I don't understand what you are saying here. What are other files
    7 Not sure about this
    8 This could be a bug

    I don't understand the statement "I've found, just by playing around with X2a (won't install it on my DAW, it has not earned my trust yet)". This makes no sense to me. How can you talk about bugs with that statement? Is it that you installed it on another computer? If so what are its specs?

    Best
