Hey,
Elements Beta 7 has plenty of component fixes and some nice little UI refinements. My favorite being you can now click outside the editor to deselect all Elements giving you a nice clean view of your design — Thanks to @handshaper for the prompt on getting this one done 
Remember, if the bug you reported is not fixed in this build don’t worry, it’s ticketed and we’ll get around to it shortly.
Read Me First Before Updating!
We have removed the following data components; FAQ, Footer, and Feature Sections. Existing documents will still see them, but you cannot add new instances. Please remove these from your projects for now. These Sections will be removed in a future release and documents will fail to load correctly.

Update to the latest Beta
Elements should prompt you while it’s running to let you know there’s an update, if it doesn’t you can select the “Check for Updates…” menu option from the “Elements” app menu. You can also download the latest build of Elements from the confirmation email you received as that link will ALWAYS give you the latest version.
