FCPX Missing Plug-in (Effect) difficult to track down - pt4

Here we are again at this topic: how to ID and find missing Effects, Titles and Transitions in FCPX? An ongoing battle.

See my two previous rants here:

Allright, so I discovered by inadvertence that FCPX (10.3.4) is giving SOME hints as to what is missing if you select the Project in the Browser, it will show SOME information.
Right, right, Hawaiki Color is missing, and Adjustment Layer is missing. That's progress.

It's better than showing this, right?

Unfortunately it doesn't help with finding the missing elements in the Timeline. I would like to jump to the actual place in the Timeline where this or these missing elements are being used and review and/or delete them. But I can't. Well for Titles, yes I can since I can isolate Titles in the Index.

So if there is already Titles listed in the Index, it's not too much asking that all other Effects, Generators and Transitions be added to the list, is it? And maybe it's not too much asking that any missing element be FLAGGED in the Index list, is it?

Thank you Apple.

FCPX (10.1.4) screws with Titles Templates with a Transition applied

I create a Title from the Bold Fin Template in the Primary Storyline, it looks great.

I apply a Fade To Color Transition at the head and tail, still looks fine.

I come back later and the Title is scaled down significantly.

I duplicate the Title, it looks normal again.  Add Fade To Color, Render, still looks Fine.

The old Title is smaller and I can't find a way to make it back to normal size.  Annoying.
