SOMETHING seems to have broken in Inventory...

...and I'm trying to figure out the reproduction steps so I can report it. It involves having two inventory windows and dragging things between them. Here are the symptoms I've seen, which are new with the latest update:

- FPS drops from around 60 to 0.5, to the point where I have to exit SL and log in again. This happened to me six times this morning, and it always happened within a few seconds of me dragging an item from one inventory window to another.
- Sometimes it just plain crashes... and since I got my new computer last week I hadn't experienced a single crash until this morning. Again, it was only after I had two inventory windows open. This happened twice today.
- The Delete option seems to be grayed out for many items in the top level of the inventory folder. When this happens, folders created by the 'Copy to Inventory' feature of a box don't seem to be affected, but all other folders have Delete grayed out, and using the Delete key does nothing. I've also seen that when this occurs, the cursor looks like an hourglass instead of a regular arrow pointer. This has happened many times today (only after 2 inventories opened), and only restarting SL brings it back.

The problem is, every time I start up fresh and try to reproduce the problem, these issues sort of just pop up randomly. I can't figure out the exact steps to make it happen so I can properly report it. Anyone else notice this?

open any folder with 40+ ish files, select them all watch SL performance take a nosedive as its getting info or something about them before you can move them, huge performance drop there,.

A few of my friends had this a long time but i gotten it to now, last updates or something is totally messing up multi select in inventory.

You cant move it or delete, or anything till Asset is done with whatever its doing in background -.-; highly annoying when you try to move alot of stuff around.

Ah yes, I noticed that as well. I was making cubes to demo some textures I'd bought and simply opening the cubes to see the contents page was taking a LOT longer than it used to. This seems pretty consistent... and my cubes had no more than 20 items, often fewer than that.
