Don't use the Project Browser so can't comment on the second issue
It's confusing, Ali had to explain it to me. I still mostly use the App Browser because I need the column layout.
In the Project Browser, the dotted selections are the objects selected on the card. You can't alter dotted-line selections from within the PB, you need to open the property inspector for that.
The hilited lines are selections you've made directly in the PB. The icons at the bottom act on those only. So you can click the icons at the bottom to manage the PB-selections (the hilited lines) to resize or align. The card-selected objects (dotted lines) won't change. If you want the card selections to be acted on, you need to manually re-select them in the PB so their lines are hilited as well as dotted.
The idea was to be able to select things in the PB that may not be in view, even on totally different cards or stacks, and be able to work with them without going there. Hilited lines indicate which objects will be affected. This could be useful. On the other hand, there is now a disconnect between visible selections on a card and objects you can act on within the PB.
Selections also act slightly differently in the Property Inspector. It used to be you could shift-click several objects and then double-click any one of them to open the multi-object inspector. That doesn't work now. Instead you double-click one object on the card to open its inspector and then shift-click objects to add more. That causes the alignment icon to appear at the top left of the inspector, and the other icons will operate on all the selected objects.
