Did you run the DB-compare, are there any JS-Errors,...? Sounds like a 
bug, for me it works - please open a bug-report.

Same here - a bug-report with a screenshot would be great.

No, there are the red/green buttons to change the stage - if you can't 
see them at all it's a bug.

Mass actions are the actions which we also had in the old module, these 
change the entire workspace (Publish entire workspace, etc...) no matte 
what page you're on. The current solution is the result we found in 
(endless) discussions. It might not be perfect but is still far better 
than the old one. If you think that something is missing or not right 
feel free to open a bugreport. I guess this also answers (5) - it's not 
a bug it's more or less the desired behavior.

Btw. please let us know if you'd like to join our regular meetings 
(every other week).

Cheers,
Tolleiv
