I have done it using coin control only...Have you tested it? did it work for you?
It works like a charm for me!
The new wallet is a big improvement.
Many problems which are in all coin wallets are solved now.
Certainly there are lot of improvements in the new wallet right from loading/syncing etc...It's just that the regrouping/sending back to the same address didn't work for me...i tried doing it twice but failed on both the occasions (transaction id's below)...anyway no complaints, will just try with my old stable wallet and continue with staking..thanks for all the help.
