@Atlantic306 I completely agree, at least as far as the English Wikipedia is concerned. I recently did an AWB run, letting it tag three articles as {{Orphan}}. I was quickly reverted as each of those articles already had at least one backlink from article space. Apparently, the guidance for the {{Orphan}} tag (and [[WP:O]], as you mention) changed in recent years from a definition of "fewer than three" to "zero". I was unaware of this change, and AWB's default behavior put me in the wrong. I quickly discovered this checkbox, but have to wonder why it still exists, let alone why it is the default.

Why mark it as case sensitive? Wouldn't you want to catch <BR> as well as <br>?

This seems like an important safety feature, and thus a bad idea to disable or selectively dismiss. AWB is used with the permission and trust of the community, and users are supposed to be responsive to concerns of others. Users who are "not idiots" could probably find a better workflow to manage their messages than read/unread. For example, they could read all messages upon receipt and then archive them once the concern is addressed.

I've run into this issue in 6.1.0.1. The workaround is to right click your selection in the diff pane and select "Copy" from the context menu. The reason the edit box maintains focus is that single clicking a line in the diff pane seeks the insertion point to the same line in the edit box. Since that's by design, I'm not sure this will ever be fixed.

I don't know if this is related, but the edit box also omits the trailing newline at the bottom of each page.

Also, maybe it could tackle the same for quotation marks, per MOS:CURLY.
This applies to copy-and-paste as well as cut-and-paste. I'll see if I can edit your task description accordingly...
This is the 48×48 pixel alpha layer from AWB's globe icon, downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/p/autowikibrowser/code/HEAD/tree/AWB/AWB/globe.ico. I figured it would be a better project icon than the Phabricator default. Though, I do with AWB had a more meaningful icon in general, and larger than 16×16.
