There is a bug in the CSS Sculptor for Expression Web.

The two axis positions for a background image give you these option;

Horizontal: [empty], left, center, right, (value)
Verticial: [empty], left, center, right, (value)

Was hoping to get a “Top left”, or “left top”, but the CSS is:

background-position: left left;

I have only used this for 5 minutes and I found a bug – has this thing been vetted?

Will this tool be available in any open-source applications?

Microsoft and Adobe products are far too clunky for my taste … it would be nice to see your contribution to CSS added to tools like BlueFish, or OpenOffice.org.

Insta-preview is how HTML Kit does it. I don't know how many people are still using it (years without an update kinda sucked) but I know for a while it was popular and people did not seem to be too terribly confused.

There are times when live CSS update would be nice but others when you would want to turn it off, especially when working with gross layout settings. If an option is to be provided at all, it will probably be one of the “CHECK to turn OFF this feature” settings helpfully buried among the typical “CHECK to turn ON this feature” settings.
