Hi Johnathan,
thanks for your suggestions
Question1:
We reported the known issue as a bug via ArcDATA Praha (czech ESRI re-seller). Under our organizational profile, it was not possible to register the bug report directly to ESRI.
Question 2:
We installed the Alpha version, downloaded the projects, but could not run the projects with side by side mode, which is for us crucial. In normal QC installation side by side, settings run on our projects without a problem so we assume it is a bug in the Alpha version. Therefore, we cannot test if a fix help to prevent application freezing when editing the position of captured record.
