There is an issue when creating a barrier, where the Name does not drop down automatically, it stays in the Click Here to add new Barrier location, so that text is on text. I have been able to inconsistently dup this but it is very inconsistent.

Also, after I add a Barrier, I am thinking I can click the X to delete. It seems like the X is not deleting the Barrier.

So, If I need to zoom to an area to add a barrier, I have to manually zoom in and pan to the location, it would be nice to have a search box to get me at least to the city. For instance, If I add a Barrier, and I want to add Redlands as the place, it would be nice to zoom to Redlands via a search box, or something equivalent.

This is using Zones, but the same behavior has been experienced with Barriers. I have added a Name called My Zone. My Zone gets added, but there is a residual My Zone in the Click here to add a new zone. Text on Text, if you will.

The ghost entry is a known issue that has been resolved but it introduced worse issues so it was rolled back for the time being.

There are also plans for making the software somewhat smarter in the default extent that is displayed in all of the map views. All of the continental US probably isn't too useful for most people. In this case, you wouldn't search for Redlands, but if all your locations and orders were in Redlands, it would set that as the default extent for setting barriers and zones.
