Hello,

I have almost the same behavior on my first setup. Additionally some 
content elements stays "untitled". It seems to happen if the content 
element is inside of a custom content collection. If I drag the element 
out then it updates its title, if I drag it back into the content 
collection it seems to be fine.

What is also confusing is working with content elements which having a 
content collection as child. If I select the content collection of this 
element and try to add an element inside, the element most likely is 
getting added on the same rootline like the collection itself instead of 
adding the element inside (as child of the collection). This requires 
many drag'n drop actions after content creation.

And same as Holger I have inconsistencies with the show-up of the 
current element sidebar option area. Sometimes I have the sidebar with 
editing options of the content element, sometimes not - which is very 
annoying because its impossible changing content behaviour afterwards.

Regards,
Dominic
