I've always used open captions on my videos and spent a long time getting to grips with the mechanics, but now it's not an option on the add caption track menu (closest thing is 'subtitles') and the panel is almost impossible to use - can't drag, resize or crop what I type, no short cut to add the next caption block, can't use ripple etc. What's going on??

First, take a look at the user guide for the new captions (and watch the short video), then ask questions back here.
Some things are not handled yet in the user guidel For an example, see this post that describes a better workflow:
