Wild unreliable behavior

I've been trying to work within this UI. I find it strange that some settings for a gear are in Properties, others are in a completely different part of the screen called Decorations, and others are in Tools, and none of them seem to talk to each other. For example, I created a gear, decided the shaft diameter was not what I wanted, _very carefully_ clicked on the gear, which is a very weird process, changed the shaft diameter, and - nothing. I clicked off of the shaft diameter field - nothing. I clicked to another gear _IT_ is now at the shaft diameter. WHAT??? Also, now instead of every gear and shaft being copper, one is blue plastic, one is red, and a third is green. WHAT??? how can that happen? I wanted to change the rack fillet so that I could have a more round bottom to make routing easier, one time I went in and made the change and it showed it to me right away. Now, and every time after, I make the change, and it never gets updated, so I can never change the rack fillet ever after creating a gear. Also, in my project, I have 3 gears, hopefully eventually 5, and when I go into Tools, I only ever see 2. WHICH TWO? Also, I created these gears a year ago, and the spokes on the gears (Straight?) where these pretty spokes with fillets on each end of the spoke, now they're - well - straight, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I just miss the better looking ones.
It seems to me that when I created this exact same set of five gears over a year ago, it was much easier.
