Known Bugs
There is a re-draw problem in the WebCollage Editor if you highlight your characters in the Text Shape and then change the font to a larger size and then use the Grab/Copy Hand to copy the text to another area.
Also - if you then try to select a new font while this copied text is not displayed correctly you will see your text displayed over the Shape Tools and must then close and re-open your template.
Workaround:
If you re-select the newly copied text area after it has been copied, it will show up correctly and not cause any problems.
This will be fixed in the next release.
There also appears to be a re-draw problem running WebCollage and Kaleidoscope. If you have the Coordinates Window open and then select Revert (to go back to your previously saved template) it erases all text within the borders of the Coordinates window.
Workaround:
Remove Kaleidoscope from your Extensions folder and re-start your Mac.
