Hi Crag: Just to be clear uDig 1.2 M2 is the first release of the uDig 1.2 stream that was able to even attempt walkthrough 1 (a fact largly due to Andrea organizing a code sprint in January :-D ).
I would really like you to report the issues in Jira; and please make a note of the platform (I was working on URL handling and thus had some platform specific issues with loading and saving projects and restarting udig etc...). I have a plan to fix these issues; but am waiting for a period of calm. Can I ask if you are running from inside your eclipse; or if you are running the release I made last night?

Something seems odd there; the "Add.Element" is from one of the code examples and would only show up if you included the code.examples in what you were running from eclipse.

Ye splease report these; but lets check what you are running first. I almost expect that: - you are running from inside eclipse?; or - udig is tripping up over a previous installation The typing backwards sounds like some code is resetting the list contents of the combo box; as you are typing and confusing matters.
