then of course when you do try to type the mouse view goes back to normal and all your effort of moving the camera is wasted >.<

me being photographer trying to talk to models, it gets very annoying.

I agree, and I hope more people notice this, VERY annoying and I consider it a bug.

I agree that its a bug.. but LL decided to program it that way on purpose. Read the updates ..... CURSOR NO LONGER DEFAULTS TO CHAT BOX.

I am SOOOO getting pissed at jumping all over when I type.


I want it back the old way.

The Chat-Interface screen no longer works.

Certainly not in a pleasing manner. It is beyond annoying, it is infuriating. It is the same kind of insensitivty to the need of the users that KILLED Star Wars Galaxies. "We are changing this even though you have told us you don't like it because we know it is better for you!" It DESTROYED SWG, so please, please pay attention.

The New Interface Controls are BAD. I cannot say it any more plainly than that.

Return to the old chat-control interface, make us happy, prove that you can listen to us.

I am reaching a point where I am considering spending my dollars elsewhere, no matter how much I have invested in SL.

I've bug-reported the new behaviour of the enter button and the way it leaves input focus on the control buttons at the bottom. I know the developers made the change intentionally, but they were wrong to do so. It's a gigantic pain in the backside - the usability of type-chat should not be sacrificed in a vain attempt to make it possible to use the rest of the app by keyboard only in that manner.

It's been a little bit since the update and I'm still not use to it, anyone else?
