I suggest change mouse pointer when user select some component from pallet and place mouse pointer into Form window.
Target milestone -> 3.3
Now[nb_dev](20010831) in Form designer, selected components are selected in Component Palette, or if you have small palette label(of beans name) and beans icon is shown beside Connection button. Do you mean, that this indication is insufficient ?
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Set target milestone to TBD
We plan to implement a "component preview" instead of this.
