Usability issues - some thoughts

Hey GGnomes,
Whilst I'm sat here making a 'tour', I promised myself some time ago this afternoon that I would drag myself away from the pixel pushing to offer two suggestions for the Skin Editor:

Whilst I'm sat here making a 'tour', I promised myself some time ago this afternoon that I would drag myself away from the pixel pushing to offer two suggestions for the Skin Editor:
- Zoom - currently there is a shortcut key and a drop down to select 100%, 200% and 400%. Could we ensure that if a (group of) element(s) are selected that the zoom to position is centered on this selection? When I'm working hard to make sure that elements are pixel perfect, the zoom offers little help when I zoom in or out, as I lose sight of my element and I have to scroll to find it - one of my workflow killers
- In the Properties View > Actions/Modifier section, could we have a tooltip when hovering over the column entry, or better yet - for all properties' columns? Opening the Action simply to read the contents of a long URL, for example, just twists my melons.
- Selected element boundary inside the Editor - a single click draws a two-stage red boundary, with thicker corners. Can we have a simple double boundary without emphasised corners which sits outside the element so we can see both the element and its perimeter clearly? Secondary clicks still result in a single pixel boundary to suggest which is the first selection.
All the very best
