Hi, Jim:
Yes,it would make it easier to read if organized the way you have shown above.
I tested the your latest version on my laptop. I noticed that if I select the component and manually scale it, the totally length does not update. If re-enter a value in the dialog and press enter or click the Apply button, then all fields update correctly. In one of the previous versions of the component I believe the total length would automatically update. I have been having some performance issues with my laptop so maybe that is the issue?
