Is anyone using the new v9 keywording tool much? My use has been a PIA and have a verified bug filed, so far:
208800 - Confirmed bug
Keywords don't stay deleted. I can delete keywords from the catalog keyword library, but they return. It doesn't seem as if they are getting deleted from the images and when the image thumbnails are viewed again, the keywords get back in the Keyword Library. This is a mess and I can't get the image library cleared of unwanted keywords!
And a couple of unresolved support cases for crazy behavior of keywords:

As the video shows, when I start off, there are few keyword in the keyword library. When I open the import dialog, as soon as I switch the input folder to one with image files in it, the keywords begin to be added to the keyword library as the thumbnail previews appear in the import dialog.
This would seem to be easy enough to reproduce; I can do it time and time again with folder after folder of images to import. Without importing any images, simply setting the image folder to import from, CO adds keywords to the root of the keyword library, even if those keywords already exist in the library at a deeper place in the keyword hierarchy.

Haphazard application of keywords in the hierarchy. I imported a group of images to the CO catalog from a Lightroom referenced folder that already had Lightroom metadata applied; keywords, for example. When the images were imported, their keywords and their hierarchy were added to the CO Keyword Library, but duplicated between the root level and the appropriated deeper levels. The attached screenshot shows the results of the import with part of the keyword hierarchy exposed and one of the images selected. Its keywords are correct and shown in the Keyword tool. In some instances (the green) a keyword was appropriately used from within the keyword hierarchy. In other cases (the red), keywords were used from the root and not the deeper hierarchy. So, two problems: 1) keywords are added both at the root and within the keyword hierarchy creating unneeded, duplicate keywords. 2) keywords are sometimes applied from the root when a deeper keyword would be more appropriate. Is it something about how I have my keyword library set up, or some confusion in how CO imports and applies new keywords? In either case, it's a mess and unwelcome.
