Something about how you go about instantiating Worlds has changed: When I try to create a new World using a different constructor the following error occurs: "An object with this name already exists."

The right hand mini code preview screen is no longer available (not sure if that is a bug).

Greenfoot UI: The class demarcations of World, Actor and Other are no longer visible. Unsure if this is intentional. There is white space between World and Actor and Other classes. I think this is useful for beginners.

The documentation for the World and Actor (when double clicked) do not appear in the editor windows. The appear as empty or uninitialized windows with no content
Yes, that's a known issue, thanks.
When writing to the system out the focus of the window is changed from the GF UI to the Terminal window. This is a change and it causes problems if the application is a game waiting on user input.
I've filed a bug ticket for this.
When opening an existing project you cannot see if the directory is a greenfoot project prior to selecting the directory. It used to show as a greenfoot with a file folder(?) in green.
That's an unavoidable change as a result of moving the interface to JavaFX, I'm afraid. We have less control over what is displayed in the dialogs and can't change the scenario folder icons to a Greenfoot icon.

I'll look into this and see if I can reproduce. If you could provide more details (a specific example) would be great.

It was not re-implemented in the new user interface.

I think that's intentional, but can discuss it with the team. Thanks!

Never mind - this turns out to be trivial to reproduce. I've filed another ticket.

By the way: as it seems the same error occurs when an Actor subclass has a second constructor ("An object with this name already exists.").
