  1. When I try to replace multiple Block Instances at once, only the first one is replaced - actually a BUG, ​​because I can select more than one and the dropdown menu shows < varies >.

  2. It would be nice if after replacing Block Instances they remain selected in the list in the Panel. When we replace them by accident with a bad instance, we have to search and select the elements again, which can be very tedious in non-trivial Block Definitions.

  3. When the list in the screenshot below appears, it would be nice if the hotkey search worked and made the selection faster.

  1. When Block Definition is selected in the Panel, we have access to the block preview and also the ability to display a larger preview window. We do not have access to the preview when we want to replace Block Instances, so we have to choose only based on the name from the drop-down list, this makes the selection more difficult and more error-prone (especially troublesome in combination with point 2).

Block Definition “rich” preview options not accessible during replacing of the Block Instances.
