With the new viewer, whenever I wear a new shape, the skin portion of the head of the avatar would disappear. All that is left in that space is a pair of huge "monstrous" (they don't look natural, sort of like monster eyeballs to me) eyes surrounded by black space and hair. It would be fixed if I go into appearance mode, but nonetheless it is still freaky and annoying.
Is it a server-side bug?

Is it a server-side bug? nope, its clientside, appeared new in 1.23, linden labs knows about it (multiple bugtracker entries exist), and it seems LL does not care as long as they can get their "hide the adult content" campaign through in time. http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-13419][url=http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-13419]http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-13419[/url] for example, opened may 10, not even assigned to someone to work on it. all other bug entries that seem to be about the same thing are in one of two states: 1. opened, not assigned at all, 2. closed as duplicate of a bug that is in state 1) |

I suppose this could be a Hallowe'en joke. Seems really ridiculous for a common graphics glitch.

sometimes the face would disappear...then sometimes the body would disappear. could be when i changed a skin, or shape, or put on an article of clothing. really annoying and tacky. went back to the old viewer. i'm with some of the others. i'll go when i'm forced. til then they need to fix their damn thing. besides...sounds like i'm not missing out on much not being able to go to Zindra yet. *rolls her eyes*

This is one of roughly two PAGES of unresolved bugs that have been reported since version 1.23 RC0 came out. But they insisted on releasing 1.23.4 even though they KNEW it still had bugs like this. Go figure.

Actually, I think this might be related to them introducing avatar/skin layer transparencies. Some skins already contain transparencies, so these might be the portions that disappear.
