Why did you change the property line setting and other gross errors.

Where oh where shall I start?

First, I have to click on the property lines each time I log in. I thought you all fixed this last time.

Second, I like keeping my search (Find) tab clicked to people or groups. Now, each time I have to make sure the tab is clicked to the type of search I want to conduct.

Third. The photo problem. This is a case of why did you fix something that was not broken. Now the thing freezes, and it takes twice as long to take a photo.

Fourth, several scripts that were useful are now broken.

Fifth. If you adjust the level of the radio on your sound control, you have to click the window AGAIN or if you are like me and use the arrow keys to move, you will find that the sound is the only thing to move.

Sixth, if for any reason you venture to either map, or search you have to click the chat line again or your Avatar flies into the air.

I advise Linden labs to follow the advice of my Grandmother... If it Ain't broke, Don't Fix it.

This sounds like a bug. I assume you have bug reported it.

Second, I like keeping my search (Find) tab clicked to people or groups. Now, each time I have to make sure the tab is clicked to the type of search I want to conduct.


This is a bug. I assume you have bug reported it, and I have also poked the appropriate developer.

Third. The photo problem. This is a case of why did you fix something that was not broken. Now the thing freezes, and it takes twice as long to take a photo.

Please report any specific bugs you find, such as freezes. Include as much detail as possible to recreate the issue.

Fourth, several scripts that were useful are now broken.

These are high priority issues. We are aware of at least 1 issue (with spurious events being triggered on region cross). If you know of any others please bring them to our attention. It is very important for these kinds of bugs that the expected behavior be conveyed with the bug report. It can be very difficult to find a bug in an unknown script if we must first figure out what the script does normally.

Fifth. If you adjust the level of the radio on your sound control, you have to click the window AGAIN or if you are like me and use the arrow keys to move, you will find that the sound is the only thing to move.

Focus issues are known, and I believe a fix is already in testing.

Sixth, if for any reason you venture to either map, or search you have to click the chat line again or your Avatar flies into the air.

I believe this has the same root cause as the fifth issue you mention. Namely focus is not behaving correctly. If you disagree please file the appropriate bug reports so that the issues can be looked at.

I advise Linden labs to follow the advice of my Grandmother... If it Ain't broke, Don't Fix it.

Sometimes things break when you fix other things, and we will always continue to add features in an attempt to improve Second Life. This last release was painful, no doubt about it. We are of course closely examining what exactly happened and how we can prevent it from happening again. I believe you have heard this all before. :)

Thank you for the feedback, please keep it coming.
