Edit: Updates for 8.1 Fusion in red

Some of the niggles with Fusion are:-
  1. No separator icon ever appears in a toolbar, it is present in the customise toolbar window  (SC & BM)
    Fixed
  2.  
  3. There is no 'Customise' toolbar icon, either on a toolbar or in the customise toolbar window  (SC & BM)
    Still Missing (1)
  4.  
  5. No use of yellow for the background of the Location (URL) bar is confusing now that it is being used in many themes, and as default in FF 1.5, to indicate an https: site,  (1st Pic below)
    Also, no https: 'lock' icon appears in the field when viewing an https: page.  (1st Pic Below) (SC & BM)
    Still Missing  - still works fine in Winscape. (and with default themes in FF 1.07 & 1.5)
     
  6. In customise toolbar mode the location field (URL) has no icon,  (2nd Pic Below)  (SC & BM)
    Fixed
  7.  
  8. The security centre icon text does not obey the toolbar text setting. It's always displayed in Icon Only Mode, taking up a lot of toolbar space, but it is not clickable.  (SC & BM similiar)
    Note: In 'Icon & Text' mode the text is not displayed twice as with BM & SC.
    Fixed (New Security Centre Toolbar Widget)
  9.  
  10. There is no On-Click behaviour for three icons:-   (SC & BM)
    • Download
    • Reload
    • Stop
      Still Missing on all 3.
  11.  
  12. Cut, Copy and Paste Toolbar icons have an On-Click behaviour even when they are inactive  (SC & BM)
    Still Happens
  13.  
  14. The Windows Min,Max,Close widgets disappear from a window if a message bar is displayed and the window width is less than the amount of 'free space' remaining after the text of the message bar is displayed. This makes closing a window interesting...... (3rd Pic below)   (SC & BM)
    Still Happens
  15.  
  16. re System Mail Icon:-  (Right Side of bottom toolbar in 4th Pic below)  (All SC & BM)
    • It has a very different look and feel to all the other Fusion Icons, i.e. no surrounding box. Still very Different (1)
    • The icon has no On-Hover Behaviour, just hover help. - Still Missing
    • It has no Dropdown widget to indicate the subsequent menu (ala Autofill) - Fixed
  17.  
  18. The Personal Bookmarks widget is not displayed in Toolbar Customise mode if the window width is less than the the length (icons and text) of the bookmarks it contains. The 'Bookmark Toolbar Items' text is missing and you don't get the hand icon when you hover over it, see 2nd Pic below, same toolbar setup as in 4th Pic.  (SC & BM)
    Fixed
  19.  
  20. If you have an icon on the right of your Personal bookmarks in a multibar and the window width is insufficient to display all the bookmarks and the icon(s), the overflow widgets can get overlayed and hence confusing. (See 1st Pic below - above cursor on the right)    (SC & BM)
    Fixed
  21.  
  22. With a toolbar in 'Icon and Text - Small' mode there is no text for:-    (4th Pic below)   (All SC & BM) 
    • Back
    • Forward
    • Home
    • Reload
    • Stop
      All Fixed
       
  23. In the Add Bokmarks dialog (1) the Folder Icon for the 'Create In' field is a bit strange.... See 5th Pic below  (SC & BM)    
    (1)  Right Mouse Click on a page then 'Bookmark this Page'
    Icon Still Strange.
(1)  These could be classed as 'design' points and not bug, I'll report them once more and then if they still remain, then design points they are.

Ignoring these design issues, its 7 bug fixes out of 13, not bad given I only posted them 8 days before the final 8.1 build.
