I just noticed a feature that I came acustomed to using in the older version. I can no longer press down on the mouse wheel and pan the window around when zoomed in in the designer. I found this very handy.  
Thanks

Unfortunately, the mouse wheel button is now more like an alt-drag in the designer. You can use it to move Containers around the screen.

That is unfortunate. If you use autocad alot like me then you get used to that. I also don’t understand the difference between the Left Mouse button and the wheel now.

If you left click in a container and drag, it will create a box to select items in the container.

If you wheel click in a container and drag, it will move the container.
