Works okay, but missing important features

Using this to interface with microcontrollers and ran into:
* Unable to set the line ending (should be able to configure to \r, \n or both)
* Re-scan for serial ports doesn't do anything
* Number of error bits cannot be set (or if fixed at 0 display this)

Rough around the edges

I was hoping this serial terminal program would do the trick for what I need, but unfortunately, it's not quite up to snuff. Some things I noticed immediately:

* The "Local Echo" checkbox doesn't work correctly. I can click it to enable/disable local echo, but the checkbox itself doesn't toggle.
* The Color setting is a bit erratic. If you start a session and it doesn't look like there's any text, click the Colors icon and make sure it's not set to white.
* Paste doesn't work as expected. Text is pasted into the window but isn't sent to the device
* A setting to control the behavior of the return key (CR, LF or CRLF) would be much appreciated.

Cisco/Arista/Juniper engineers, don’t waste your money!

The app does not allow you to copy-paste blocks of commands into the terminal window—a must have if you need to push a large configuration to the device.
