- The new glow around items is nice, except when I'm trying to do detail work. Then it really gets in the way and makes it hard to see clearly what I'm doing. I looked for a way to turn off or dim the glow but I couldn't find it.

- Pressing ALT will reset my camera position to some default. Makes it really hard to get it where I want to look at what I'm working on since I need to keep ALT down the entire time I'm moving. Also really hard to move just a little to the side or up or down to change your view cuz it gets reset as soon as you press ALT.

- ALT-CTRL not only does the rotate that it is supposed to, it also slowly but surely zooms out. This combined with the other bug makes me do a (not so) merry little dance holding down the alt key, pressing the CTRL and SHIFT keys while moving the mouse around. Every time I want a different angle I gotta start all over.

- Looking at a detail tool (any tool as far as I can tell) window for an object or land and then closing that window will render your movement keys inoperable until you click on something else to get the ring menu to appear and then again to close that ring menu.

- It is nice that it shows how much the charge is going to be for a light object, except that for some shapes it is covered by some drop down menus. Two shapes I know it does this for are sphere and torus. I logged off before I got a complete list - maybe tomorrow.

- This maybe should go in feature requests but: Selecting multiple shapes via the shift and click method (is there another?) and then typing in a new position will only move the last selected shape, not all of them. However if you drag the shapes they all move.

Thank you for the feedback. In order to help us narrow down your specific concerns, could you include a screenshot or two that demonstrates the situation where the selection glow gets in your way? Make sure to turn the screenshot into a JPEG so it will be small enough to attach...

We'll look into the camera control problems you mentioned.

LOL too right. meant 0.3

Last night I didn't have the camera control issues so maybe it was just me.

And I didn't see your message Richard so I didn't think to grab a screenshot. I will get one tonight though.
