FW5 - HTML insert behavior change

In FW5 the behavior of a HTML insert has changed.

When “pasting into” a HTML box (inline), you cannot re-size the HTML insert to match the size of the HTML effect you are re-creating.

In FW4 you had the ability to define the size of the HTML insert where ever.

Why the change in behavior?

(Now that FW5 is out - I assume its OK to post here)

Assuming that by ‘HTML insert’ you mean, say, a second HTML box, then
it works fine here.

No not I’m not meaning HTML insert

As far as I know, inline Markup Items (inserted at a flashing text
cursor) have always been a single-size affair. They’re just this big:
[ H ] and nothing more. If you insert a Markup Item on the page
(click on the pasteboard, main menu: Insert > Markup Item) then they
are 100px square and resizable.

Nope, In FW4 you could specify a height and depth.

Not much of a big deal, but it help with layout.

You could specify it in the Inspector (not by dragging a corner) and
the result in the code was exactly nothing. No dimensions or any
other container code are ever published for a markup item inserted
inline. If you place one on the page as a layer or a table cell, then
it gets layout generated around it. But inlines have never done this,
not in any version of Freeway.

I have found it useful to be able to scale an inline markup item to
the approximate size of what it is going to make. That was possible
in Freeway 4, but now it isn’t. I wish I’d seen this earlier when the
public beta was current; I’m not keen on the new sizeless behaviour
either.
