Sorry for all the feedback in a short time, don't want to clutter the forum...
 
.      (I posted this yesterday but it seem to dissappear?)
1. When playing with a diode in circuit I notice the Vf behavior -  With increase current Vf increase is significant. eg. 5A = 3.7V, at 0A Vf is at set value.
Is this intended for simulation stability?
It is the similar for Zener mode.
For workaround I can place several diode in parallel.

2. In the component VarResistor  with step size = 1 is great for a 1k or 10K resistor but for 5 or 10 ohms the step size is a large for 1ohm is no step.
(but with Potentiometer has a small step with low ohms)

I also notice negative values can be entered/adjust in max/min value of VarResistor

Don't worry. During summer there is little activity here.
And bug reprots are essential for this project, so any feedback is very apreciated.

Diode has a default internal resistance of 0.6 ohm.
I think this value should be editable, it is for Leds but not for diodes.

You are right, this must be solved.

Yes, another bug here.

Thanks for reporting.
