1. Open the fixture creator and fill out with info to use as a test, use "Shehds" as the manufacturer
2. Create a new Mode but don't add any info. Bug: Cannot delete the newly created mode. (This happens if you click the wrong button and didn't mean to create that mode)
3. Save the fixture definition in the "Shehds" fixture folder
3. Go back to the QLC+ and try to add the fixture... Bug: The new fixture is not listed.

There are also several crashes when trying to click between mode and channels but haven't been able to reproduce it,.

This just indicates that you don't understand how the program works.
User fixtures must not be saved into bundled fixture folders.
Take some time to read some documentation first.

The features list spreadsheet for version5 says that there is no documentation yet, so I assumed that was correct. If the v4 documentation is useful for version 5, then I'll read that first to try and solve the problem in the future.

The documentation would be more clear if it said "Do not save your fixture definitions in the QLC+ fixtures folder because they will not be seen by QLC+. The way its written now just says I shouldn't do that because they'll be lost if I uninstall the application. So it seemed that as long as I don't install the application it wouldn't be a problem. My mistake.
