I've noticed two annoying bugs in v8.1.42

1. The Property editor acts as if the text is too long to be displayed (and it shows that little icon instead of displaying the value). The `text` property in the snip below is `"value"` and I didn't resize the Property Editor panel. It just stays that way and the only way I found to get it to show the values would be to resize the Perspective Property Editor panel (even making it smaller works - it retriggers some event and the values display again).  

2. The `+` icon next to many properties in the Perspective Property Editor is missing. For example, usually you're able to click on that button to add a new style property, like `box-shadow` or some other CSS. However, the button to add a new property disappears! This isn't only for the `style` property - when it happens, it affects all of the applicable properties (I think anything that's an Object or Array property type).

This one is especially annoying, as the only resolution to it that I've found is to restart the Designer.

Are there any errors in the console in scenario 2?

I don't think anything here _changed_ in 8.1.42, but it's interesting you only just started hitting this.
