    Make it easier to see text fields that have lost their element associations and are now stale.

    It can be hard to notice if a text field is no longer updating and are stale. Would it be possible to have a way to visually notice stale labels by replacing the stale text with the word "stale" or something equivalent? Perhaps all text fields hav...

    Make Taper Face tool origin point associative
