I've lost dozens hours too, but technically there's no action the SL2 code can track (unlike (key press, object move, etc). At the risk of geek speak, the re-flow is (upped) in SL2's (stateless) rendering call to the host operating system I'm betting.

It's best to change the story size before you add any slides. Otherwise, you may need to resize or rearrange objects in your story to accommodate its new size.

We have seen you helping out a lot and we appreciate it, and hope you’ll continue to contribute worthwhile discussion according to our philosophy here.
Since design is an iterative process, and one does not always know exactly how things will look a day, week, or a month in advance, it may not happen that a screen size gets locked-in prior to development. In a perfect world sure - but design is not that.
Captivate does allow full "undo" - just sayin' :)
I don't think this is unreasonable for your Design team.

Now, for big bugs, search the forums for variable reference + font size in text fields.... Old, old, painful (bug)...
