Many thanks for your feedback
You seem to like the reordering feature in the furniture list, so I'll keep it.
Here's the version 6.3 Beta 3.
It brings two small changes:
- from Dorin's suggestion, I made walls and rooms undetectable by Select object contextual menu as soon as walls transparency isn't fully opaque in the 3D view modification pane.
- I replaced the version 2.4.0 RC 20200202 of JOGL by the version used in previous versions of Sweet Home 3D, because it didn't seem to solve the corrupted display bug. This Beta 3 tests another solution because this bug seems to be bound to tool tips, but I'm not sure it will work (it's difficult for a developer to fix a bug that he can't experience himself!)
@Gildaniel, thanks for your suggestions about the default text size of dimension lines, except that the two images you showed over-exaggerate the problem. In a future version, I could try to compute a different text size according to the place it will occupy along the line, propose a default size in the preferences or add a modification pane for selected dimension lines. But as these dimension lines are permanent and printed, I can't change their size according to the current zoom factor like for temporary dimensions, otherwise this would break WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You get) in the plan view.
In case you didn't know, note that the Enlarge / Decrease size menu items will affect all the dimension lines and other texts selected in the plan, so you can select more than one line to change its text size at the same time.
Temporary dimension lines
This is useful, You might consider making their appearance depending on the amount of zoom to avoid crowding the screen.
That's what I had in mind. I could also not display them if the number of the dimension line becomes invisible at screen because of the zoom factor.This is useful, You might consider making their appearance depending on the amount of zoom to avoid crowding the screen.
Select object in 3D
In potential very useful. But...
When selecting an object this way, the object should be "activated" so that it can be moved with the cursor keys. Now you still have to select the object in the 2D window, which cancels the usefulness of the new selection feature.
Arrows are used to change the point of view at the moment. If you want them to act differently, this would imply to introduce some kind of modification mode in the 3D view, and I'm very reluctant to program that. In potential very useful. But...

As YGYL suggested, you should press a few time the Tab key to give the focus to the plan view, or even faster press Alt + Tab keys to go directly to the plan view (they are even listed in this article about shortcuts).
We don't have an option to revert the "sort by" to default order.
There are two options to revert to the natural order in which objects were added: select again the sort criterion column in the Sort by menu or more simply, click again on the header of the column (first click on a column header sorts the furniture list according to the column in ascending order, second click in descending order and third click removes sorting).Happy Easter to you all!
