· Setting the Image Control to display One per page creates redundant pagination

· The following setting doesn’t work: ContentItemKeyPersistance="Cookie"

· When uploading files, the progress bar is not displayed correctly.

Pages

· Versioning of Pages does not display correct data for Created date.

Events

· When ContentView and EventView controls are added to the same page and no provider is specified for them, the events list is displayed by the ContentView control, instead of EventView. There is no such issue when Generic Content provider is specified.
