Brian, could you please advise on the severity of this defect?

I am marking this as major for .7.  

The outline view is used to move widgets, and not showing a complete outline view looks bad.

After reviewing the source for H8.egl in more detail, I am changing the severity of this defect to 'normal' for .7.  As I mentioned in 359165, we should not have any utilities that generate the following code:

Button2 Button = new Button;

or 

Button3 Button = new Button{text = "New button with setting block"};

The code that should be used is:

Button2 Button;

and 

Button3 Button{text = "New button with setting block"};

which work correctly in the outline view.

I would still like to see this fixed in .7, but I don't think it should be prioritized over other failing scenarios that are more likely to be encountered.

Dynamically created widgets (with a New expression) should not be editable in the VE.

Please reopen this defect if you do not agree.
