I opened the new WF Designer in 7.6.0.6 and my Yellow and Red Pencils that I have used for the last 15 years to connect my nodes were nowhere to be found. I knew that WF Designer had been rewritten to free us from the yoke of Java Applets and all those associated problems and errors but how did it come to this?
