While attempting to produce a symmetric soup in the viewer, I tried flipping and pasting a copied soup. The two center columns did not flip properly. This seems to occur with any pattern having an even number of columns. Also, upon further testing, this affects the two center rows in a pattern with ...

I think the highest period ship with 3 cells: x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2-an3akry4cnwyz5-cjr6-en7e/S1c3-nqy4-einr5-ijr6kn78 o$bo$o! 5c/3101 - a failed replicator ship. The rule is stable and has also this natural diagonal ship: x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2-an3akry4cnwyz5-cjr6-en7e/S1c3-nqy4-einr5-ijr6kn78 2...

Some of these rules have other interesting patterns; I don't have time right now to list them though.

One of David Eppstein's open questions is whether LongLife is fertile (has a pattern that eventually escapes any bounding box, such as a spaceship or puffer). At minimum, it appears to be bound as described above. x = 11, y = 11, rule = B345/S5History 5BC5B$4B3C4B$3B5C3B$2B3CB3C2B$B3C3B3CB$3C5B3C$B...

A rule where a couple patterns just can't pick between the two rules, so they share patterns in both:

The random fill function does not work properly with Generations-type rules. It only fills with states 0 and 2 in this 3-state rule: x = 3, y = 1, rule = B3/S123/3 3o! Additionally, attempting to draw over these cells fails until at least one generation has passed since their creation. (P.S.:I notic...

As of Build 353, the viewer does not change what color is used for drawing unless you use the eyedropper to change it, and smart draw has absolutely no effect. To test, try drawing in this box: x = 20, y = 20, rule = LifeHistory 20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o$20o...
