Ahhhh good to know :D

Please yes do file bugs! It's so useful to have these things tracked: I think you've already given several great pieces of feedback in your comment, it would be really nice to have this tracked.
Doubly so if you have screenshots/videos/descriptions of other profilers (e.g. instruments) and how they do things so we can learn from their UX as well!
And of course, if you're willing to contribute, we would love to have them! We have a decent contributor base today but it's something I want to continue growing and investing in over time!
> can do something like get an "activity view" (like the stack that shows how many tasks are active) across all tracks
I think you're asking for basically the same as what https://github.com/google/perfetto/issues/3463 https://github.com/google/perfetto/issues/3463 is asking for if I'm not mistaken? That will do it per-group (i.e. per process for the JSON format). Or do you actually want something global across all processes? I think we could do that, maybe hidden behind a command?
> across all tracks, or quickly select the region between two spans
I think you're asking for https://github.com/google/perfetto/issues/154 https://github.com/google/perfetto/issues/154!

Makes sense, please file a bug!
> especially since I can't really right-click anything which is what I typically do when looking for features
There are some philosophical differences in the Perfetto team about "right clicking" :) I'm pro having it as an additional discovery mechanism but others feel it's a sign of bad UI/UX. Some commentary from users might help break ties!
