Bryan,

Some of these will come back soon.  The reason the disappeared was the paging.  To make it work, I had to simplify the control.  But I have been looking at bring things back into it.

This makes it possible to see more of the record without having to scroll with the mouse and without having to lose one's place when editing a line.

Sometime around version 5.1 (possibly around the same time as the loss of multiple undo), MarcEdit was updated in a way that made using control-arrow right or left jump between words, but no longer jump between punctuation. For example, in the string ":$bMitchell Lane Publishers,$cc2011.", in MarcEdit 5.2.4013.6155, starting at the back and control-arrowing left, the 1st stop is before the P in Publishers. In MarcEdit 4.6.63 (and probably 5.0+, though I don't have those installed, and am going only on memory), the 1st stop is before the ending period, then between $ and c (at $c), then before the comma before $c, then at the P in Publishers. Having it stop at the punctuation makes it easier to jump between subfields. MarcEdit 4.6's stops also appear to match those in my e-mail client, Microsoft Outlook 2003, and Notepad++.
