Orcad 17.4-2019 S015: unstable

Hello,

the latest version seems to be very unstable.

PCB editor:

1. The software crashed even when it's not being used. (You return after taking a phone call and the PCB editor crashed upon the first mouse click.)

2. The GUI does not always respond. You click the add connect button and nothing happens. (there are no other commands running) Clicking an other command in an attempt to find out if the editor still works, does work.

Schematic editor:

1. screen flickering all the time which seems to come and go. You click an item and the complete screen is redrawn. They have fixed the screen redraw problem when opening a design with multiple pages but introduced an other problem.

2. Editing component is still very difficult. You can not always select an item without first moving other items aside. The most recent version draws dots which do not scale at all on endpoints of selected objects making it impossible to see what you're doing.

Are there other users with the same problems?

I have more stuff to write/complain about. But those are the most annoying ones for now.
