I don't know if this is of any help to you, but number 11 on your list has been discussed here before. Try re-ordering your toolbars and then immediately shut down multisim and re-start it without doing anything else. This happened to me once and after doing this it never happened again.
I hope maybe that I may have helped in this one issue. I agree that your list should be evaluated by their Tech Dept. so that maybe at least the next version can be improved upon.
Have a nice day.

Alex, here are my comments on your 15 points... please let me know if you have further information that can help us on the ones we can't reproduce... please be advised that I am running version 10.0.1, if you are running the original 10.0 you might want to update it... you can download the full installer from:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/circuitdesignsuite/10.0.1/NI_Circuit_Design_Suite_10_0_1.exe
1. I tried doing the same, but I was not able to reproduce it. User Fields stay on the same place with the same information, unless I directly delete the information on the user field. I tried with Corporate, User and changing a Master DB component.
2. Please give a detail example, tabs in a dialog, tabs on the workspace, etc. And give a suggestion that we can file. Please clarify for me which sections of the software don't have a tab order that is logic.
3. This is a known issue we are trying to improve. DRC reports components that are overlapping each other, but is not checking for component spacing.
4. Do you have a sample file we can test? Or is there a special change to forward annotate that would cause this?
5. This is a known issue. The forward annotation list shows the complete netlist, inside this list you will find the new changes you are trying to send. We are trying to improve this functionality to make more intuitive.
6. I just filed a defect about this. I agree with you in that pressing the <DEL> key should erase the next character. For some reason the software is not taking the <DEL> key as a text editing command.
7. I filed a feature request for this. Connectivity Checks checks for connectivity, it does not checks for specific connection attributes such as connection thickness, it only checks if there is a copper connection.
8. This has been requested and we are trying to improve it.
9. This has been requested and we are trying to improve it.
10. Actually you can, from the Component Browser when placing parts, you can click the Search button, then you can click the Advanced button, and then check the box Advanced Search Using User Fields.
11. This is something that usually happens when the software has been left open for long periods of time. We are trying to fix it. In the meantime see if Lacy's suggestion (see message above) can help.
12. I filed the feature request for this.
13. This is a feature that has been requested and R&D is working on it.
14. I was not able to reproduce this one. I tried with SMD and THT pads and it works ok.
15. I did not quite understood this one. Tell me if I am wrong, but we are talking about the same layer, you have a power plane and you want to embed a copper area within this plane so lets say you have a rectangle plane for GND and inside this rectangle you want another rectangle but for VCC. I can do that and it works ok, as soon as you place another copper area it splits the previous one and you have one copper area inside the original one... obviously with a voided boundary line. Now, if you are trying to insert a new "layer", then that is not a feature, I filed a feature request for something like that though.
So this are my comments Alex, sorry it took so long but like I said, we take every comment very seriously and we try to make sure we can reproduce any reported error, that we understand any suggestion and that our internal databases have no similar error or feature reported. Let me know if you have further assistance you can give us on those points we were not able to reproduce...
Thanks!
