Having issues withVS2013 & 2015 Q1 Winforms RadChartView control

1. WYSIWYG in design time does not refresh properly after changing axis collection parameters, unless close and reopen the parent winform or custom control
2. by changing an axis collection parameter , seem to end up with multiple extra axes series (originally had axisX, AxisY, and after a minor param change ended up with axis 0 thru 5 (6 in total) and all series where now using axis4 & axis5 not my original axis?
3. I can't see to toggle display on/off of series in winforms via the legend, yet in wpf web it is possible? will this feature be added later?

attached is example of WYSIWYG not working

improvement Suggestions:
I would love to have a major and minor grid (similar to ref: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/screen-digital-oscilloscope-two-types-signal-33269502.jpg)  as most of my work is measurement and scientific in nature. 

I would like to ensure the ratio of X-Y is fixed so that on resize of the control the grid does not skew or stretch  and I loose 1:1 aspect ratio

I look forward to your feedback ;)

To reproduce:

Create a RadChartView with LineSeries. Subscribe to the CreatePointElement event and use the following code:

void Chart_CreatePointElement(object sender, ChartViewCreatePointElementEventArgs e)
{
    e.DataPointElement = new DataPointElement(e.DataPoint);
    e.DataPointElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
    e.DataPointElement.GradientAngle = 270;
    e.DataPointElement.Shape = new DiamondShape();
    e.DataPointElement.BackColor = Color.Red;
    e.DataPointElement.BackColor2 = Color.Blue;
    e.DataPointElement.BackColor3 = Color.Blue;
    e.DataPointElement.BackColor4 = Color.Blue;
}

The elements paint when you use ChamferedRectShape.

when overlay a radlabel on a radchartview, chartview constantly refreshes
label backcolor set to transparent

tried to recreate this with a sample cs project but wouldn't reproduce!

video has two instances of the same user control on the form
notice that right hand instance does not update when radlabel is added

attached is video of it working fine, then add label ontop , then see it misbehaving  with fast refresh flicker!  not only that it also prevents other items in the user controls from updating and the other user control on the form from updating

have attached sample c# project (but cant reproduce)

To reproduce:
 protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);

            radChartView1 = new RadChartView();
            radChartView1.Parent = this;

            this.radChartView1.AreaType = ChartAreaType.Pie;
            PieSeries series = new PieSeries();
            series.DataPoints.Add(new PieDataPoint(50, "Germany"));
            series.DataPoints.Add(new PieDataPoint(70, "United States"));
            series.DataPoints.Add(new PieDataPoint(40, "France"));
            series.DataPoints.Add(new PieDataPoint(25, "United Kingdom"));
            series.ShowLabels = true;
            this.radChartView1.Series.Add(series);

            (series.Children[0] as PiePointElement).RadiusAspectRatio = 1.2f;
      }
