Hi there,
Here they are (all of them apply for Layout #2):
1. the Active Button Border CSS setting is not working. That is, no matter what color you are setting, the active button's border is still the color set in the Button Border CSS
2. the description section of the button is showing trailing dots, no matter how long the actual text is. Even one charcter is followed by ...
3. when using Ajax loading, the transition from one section to another, takes 2 seconds (text only with almost no formatting, no images), and is done by displaying a grey screen, which is quite annoying. Can it be done faster (is Ajax loading not supposed to avoid long transitions? 2 seconds is a h**l of a lot of time for a text only page!)?
4. If such a long transition is unavoidable , could you at least get rid of the grey screen, and maybe display a nice popular "loading" animation, which you should easily find?
5. Text anchors are not working any longer (neither within the same section of the document, nor from one section to another) after I have activated and used ACP. This is quite serious because anchors are a great way to provide for page jumping. There are many many situations in which pagination alone does not help, you just need to jump between sections.
6. It would be good (and not very hard) if you could include a Hover Text Color setting along with the current Hover Background Color setting. It would be much easier to style the button.
7. Could it be possible to extend the list of fonts to those included in the theme? This would provide a way for the button's look to be consistent with the rest of the styling. Arial and Times New Roman are rarely used in modern websites, these are more like MS Office fonts.

Ok, thank you for this list, let me add my comments:
1. the Active Button Border CSS setting is not working. That is, no matter what color you are setting, the active button’s border is still the color set in the Button Border CSS
sure, this will be fixed.
2. the description section of the button is showing trailing dots, no matter how long the actual text is. Even one charcter is followed by …
ok, this too

This is not our bad, we use Wordpress Ajax system. It really slow on some servers. We just send a small variable and get next page content, but whole work is being done by wp-ajax.php, which is the only option provided by Wordpress. This is a very slow app. All complaints to Wordpress please...

sure, we can remove the gray background, that's good idea. Thanks!

Ok, we'll check this issue. there should not be such a problem.

yes, no problem, this could be added.

I am always glad to help when I can, by sharing my user experience, especially to people like you doing such a great work.
Now regarding #5 above, I have digged a little bit further and what I found is that pagelinking works if the URL includes the sub-page number, as follows:
<a href="http://exalex.co/lextest/5/#Tx">
So it is not enough to provide only the anchor ID, the sub-page number is also needed.
The problem is that the button carousel does not move according to the jump: if you jump from sub-page 1, where you see buttons #1 (active), #2, #3 and #4 (corresponding to sub-pages 1 to 4) to page 10 , you still see buttons #1, #2, #3 and #4, all four being inactive.
Hope that helps!
