We could use a more consistent visual language with regards to drop down menus and pallets. For instance, in the Navigation Pallet the last thing you clicked on is highlighted grey and Bold rather than the current active Saved View, Class, Layer, etc. In the main taskbar at the top of the screen the layer drop down highlights the layer you are on in bold and with grey "highlight" over it. That is very concrete about which layer you are on and is active. However, that visual language is not consistent across drop down menus. Working planes are only Bold, Saved Views have no indication, Classes are the same as layers.
It would be helpful if the current saved view etc. that you are in or are active were highlighted and used consistently throughout menus. I have on occasion accidentally selected the view just above or below the one I am on and redefined its properties instead as that is the one highlighted. Not the end of the world, but busy work to fix nonetheless.
