Inappropriate Layout Preview in Application Themes

According to the Scriptcase Help Manual under Layout → Application Themes topics.
“To create new themes, click on “Create New Theme”. And the modifications done to the theme, will be displayed on the preview in real-time.”
Steps to replicate issue found in application themes.

  1. Use Scriptcase version 9.7.005 Sample Project as a starting point.
  2. Browse Layout → Application Themes.
  3. Choose Sc9_SweetHollyhock and save it as a new theme and select advanced mode to enter edit mode.
  4. Navigate to Refined search/summary → Refined Search → Content.
  5. Immediately we can notice that the Preview area on the right-hand side displays an inappropriate layout.
  6. It is supposed to display an outlook of refined search layout so that any changes made can be displayed in What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) format.
  7. Other areas with similar problems include Export, Components and Others
  8. The following are snapshots of the problems listed above for your kind reference and further action.

I referred to the previous post a few days ago and wish to emphasize the impact on the user experience when changing the parameter in the application themes.

The effect is that any changes made to the setting under the Refined Search, Export, Components and ‘Others’ menu are not displayed or reflected accordingly in the preview area. These have caused a major drawback when customizing app themes that the user would like to see the live effect.

I would appreciate it very much if Bug Tracker could give serious consideration to this issue because it is an important part of the quality and usability of Scriptcase.
