If you get the chance, can you also ask them if they are planning to implement dockable toolbars for the various Photoshop menu items which are noot available on the palettes or the graphics toolbar?
Can do, but you could join the forum yourself it’s free and easy to do, let me know. I also had another reply regarding your problem;
"Mike…
Try this:
First, make sure your rulers are visible [CTRL + R], then double-click on the origin point for the horizontal and vertical rulers at the top left of the document window. This will make sure the origin is reset to the default.
Right-Click on either of the rulers and set the unit of measurement to "pixels."
Make a selection and leave it active, Right-Click on it and select "Transform Selection" from the contextual menu.
You’ll see this puts a "Transform Boundary Box" (T.B.B.) around the selection. This T.B.B. has 8 anchor points around the outside of it, and a target/reference point anchor in the center, by default.
Look up at the Options bar.
On the left side you’ll see a 9-point tic-tac-toe-like matrix. The little box on that matrix which is black will be representative of the reference point of the T.B.B. to which the x & y measurements a little farther right on the Options bar will be made, relative to the top left origin point in the document window. Click on the little boxes of the matrix to change the reference point representation.
Now, when you use the arrow keys, and keep your eye on the x & y coordinates in the Options Bar, you will know exactly where on the canvas the T.B.B.-and the selection-are being moved to, relative to the 0,0 (origin) point you set earlier.
If you click the Delta (triangle) button between the x & y-coordinate fields, this will set both of those values to 0. That means that the reference point you chose in the 9-point matrix is now considered 0,0, and you can move the T.B.B./selection outline relative to its starting point. You’ll see the values update in the Options Bar as you tap your arrow keys.
Once the T.B.B./selection outline is where you want it to be, tap the "Enter" or "Return" key.
Does that get you where you need to go? Just try it, and you’ll see this works just fine. It’s a lot to explain, but an easy concept to grasp."
