Mk this used to happen only once in a blue moon but every time i ALT+ENTER to switch from fullscreen to windowed mode SL drops and crashes, not a big deal, pretty annoying tho since im constantly flipping back and forth... BUT!

now it crashes a few times, then wonk my keyboard flips out inside the SL client (works perfectly fine in everything else) i hit enter the movement controls come up, i hit tab the group window opens up, alt F4 seems to work good enugh =/ crash a cupple few more times and the SL client itself is totall FUBAR, it wont do jack, it just sits there @ the loading Sl grey window with my cpu @ 100%

infact i left it there the other night, it stayed at that loading screen @ 100% cpu usage for over 12 hours

now of course reinstalling over top of the old install does nothing to correct this, so i have to completly remove SL from the computer and install it again, since the .17 patch ive reinstalled SL 3 freakin times (if i see another dialog box that tells me what money is im gonna stab someone, really tho 30 dialogs 3 times in a week telling me what this button does gha)

i dont know what you guys did, but you turned me from a person who may have sent in a crash report once a month (if even that) to once every 5 min

AND IT SUCKS

If you don't mind me joining you in the going bonkers corner Osgeld.... The problem I am having is that my keyboard flips me between resolutions when I hit ALT and a cursor key. Not every time. Not in a repeatable way...just enough to make me want to hurl the computer through the window. Also...I reported this in the previous build and think it was one of the things they signed off with "new build, all fixed, kthanxbye".

I have had enormous problems with the linking bug (another "we think the new build fixes this" bug), where I can link a house, then link items within the house, but when I try to link the two together they are too far apart to link. Say what? I have already linked something which is further apart and outside them...how can these be too far?

Today a new variation on the can't move or resize a prim when attached with edit linked parts...strangely this was also an issue which was fixed by the new build. Nowadays, if you try to unlink one prim to move it the whole thing unlinks. Brilliant! Even more inconvenient.

The build tools are driving me crazy. The section bug...the linking bug...texture bugs....

I have to say the current build is less useful and useable than the tools were when I arrived 2 years ago.
