As for the 8/10 point & symbols thing, previously just clicking to look at one of the symbol keyboards would automatically bump the font size from 8 to 10 point (since there is no symbol set for 8 point); I suggested instead having it so that the font size only bumped up when a symbol was actually used.

A similar problem occured when copying button properties from one to another, where copying 8 point text formatting onto a button with symbols would maintain the font size at 8 and then cause the symbols to drop out when downloaded.
