I don't see a specific bug reporting link for 5th Edition so posted on here.
Firstly great news that 5th Ed has made it into Hero Lab.

I was playing around with creating a new character and noticed that the negative dex modifier is applied to the characters AC when in heavy armour.

I checked the SRD page 62.

"Heavy armor doesn’t let you add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class, but it also doesn’t penalize you if your Dexterity modifier is negative."

It looks like this rule isn't being applied to the AC calculation.
(I know we can fix this with a manual edit, but just wanted to report it).

Can kill this thread, found the bug report link @ http://www.wolflair.com/redirect/bugreport.php?project=5e
