Just curious -- I'm experiencing a repeatable issue with 1.6 wherein I'm running SL in a window, and if I attempt to copy / paste text from an external source (emacs, for instance) my entire system (WinXP) freezes up tight and I have to power-off reboot.
Minimizing the SL window while doing the copy seems to avoid the problem (it's getting into the habit of doing that that's the rub . . . )
While I've noticed this issue primarily with copy / paste, last night I had a system lockup when I simply pulled down a menu on an external screenshot application (irfanview) -- so maybe this is some kind of oddball interaction between SL and pulldown menus.
A driver issue? Maybe. But I never had trouble with this in 1.5.
Anybody else hitting this?

Based on your crash reports, I'd suspect computer overload... you seem to be on a notebook computer whose CPU doesn't meet Minimum System Requirements, your graphics card is bare-minimum (and the mobile version, which is worse), and your graphics drivers are about two years old. As such, I can't promise you'll have reasonable performance at all...

FWIW, I'm on an IBM T40 notebook with a 1.8GHz Pentium and my performance is reasonably good. Jess |

Hahaha.
I was waiting for somebody to match this problem up with. I also am getting these type of freak crashes (along with several no reason crashes). It's not particularly when I copy/paste, but whenever I use the shift or control keys I have a good chance of it locking up my entire system. This is horrible. In ever had any problems playing before, never had any problems in preview.. then they release this thing and BAM totally unplayable. |

I don't crash on copy/paste, but I do find myself unable to copy/paste into/out of SL since 1.6, and it's very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm on a Mac, iBook G4 with fine graphics card but only 384 MB RAM. Copy/paste worked fine for me before 1.6. _____________________

I'm on a Mac, iBook G4 with fine graphics card but only 384 MB RAM. Copy/paste worked fine for me before 1.6. There IS an odd text selection bug I've found, and to deal with it, I had to hit Insert key once (or at odd moments, several times) at the end of a block of text. That usually made it so I could copy and paste "normally" again. Otherwise, click-dragging selected only a single character at a time. Not sure if it's what you're having too but good hope! _____________________
