I just looked at the known issues list, and two things seem obviously missing to me.
First of all, when editting other people's objects when you are granted rights, the interface screws you. It will deselect the object the first time you select, making editting very difficult and selecting individual faces for texturing impossible. Seems a UI bug of some sort. Why isn't this on the list? Is it even known about? I've heard everyone has this same issue, seems it ought to be fixed/recognized.
Secondly, transparent objects. The client on several different computers, and on many of my friend's systems, seems to handle seeing transparent objects through other transparent objects very badly. The Z-Order will be wrong, or flicker in many cases. This makes it hard to have, for example, plants in front of a transparent curtain in front of a solid wall. It will look terrible and wrong. Why is this also not a known bug and being addressed?
If these thigns weren't so blindingly obvious and easy to repro in game, I guess I'd understand, but come on...

Is it even known about? I've heard everyone has this same issue, seems it ought to be fixed/recognized. I`ve been bitten by this one myself, but not enough to gripe yet, though I *think* I`ve had it happen when editing my own objects, something you do not mention. I have bigger problems with editing other people`s things: The system frequently refuses to allow me to edit stuff I have edit rights to. As for the texturing difficulties, however, I haven`t tried that lately, so I don`t know, but it seems that since it DOES take on the second try, you should be able to texture from there. You do know how to use the Texture radio button and the Edit Linked Parts checkbox, yes? On a related note, I sometimes want to Touch my own objects, and end up opening them for editing instead of or in addition to the expected Touch trigger. I`ve taken to sometimes using right-click-touch instead of normal left-click touch. From: Bane Darrow Secondly, transparent objects.

Why is this also not a known bug and being addressed? This is a known issue that is so old that people have stopped bothering to post about it. There are other bugs that are so old nobody bothers to gripe about much any more, too. My favorite is the fact that the clipboard support on the Linux native client is nonexistant. Clipboard support is more essential to me personally than fixing issues that crash the client. No, I am NOT kidding.
