The nice thing about shading is that you always have the texture in 
highest possible resolution. The 'Resolution' setting from the drop-down 
menu is then not necessary anymore, so we've removed it. When shading is 
disabled (manually or due to hardware limitations) the 'Resolution' 
setting is available again.
What you describe with changing the resolution before selecting an 
attribute, sounds like a bug. I'll have a look at that one.

No, we didn't change that on purpose. Checking whether a value is within 
the valid range and automatically set to min or max value  if outside 
that range is (or maybe was) a nice feature from Qt. Apparently they 
changed something. Anyway we'll make sure it will work again in the next 
stable version.

Thanks for your detailed reports.

Best regards,
