You're right Dave, I could do this, and it's habit that makes me do it
the way I do. When the feature fails, if I:
#Fix Model
#Feature
#Confirm
#Insert Mode
#Activate then pick the last feature before the failed one I am
then where I want to be and I can save it at that point if I want.
Of course it's a lot more menu picks this way. If I could just drag
that arrow up the tree....
I think I will make this one of those enhancement requests.
