And for the record, Bug Reports have been filed on all (and on may other things as well).
Overall this is a small list. 4 of 33 (3 of 33 really). But fixing small problems can prevent larger problems.
Bug fixes:
* Friends list now sorts by online status
* Dragging past the end of text field once again scrolls text
* Friends list now sorts by online status
* Toolbar buttons no longer retain focus after use
-You know the problems with this one. Nuff said.
-No. It does not. Look again. My drag over text is random, as are others I have spoken with.
-Same as first. Kisted twice because it was in the original list. Perhaps Karen listed twice by accident (it was a big list) or maybe there were two teams working on this?
-The Focus issue is STILL borked. This is the second "bug fix" to this since the update that broke it. Could this be tested next time before it's said it's fixed? This is a very touchy subject with a majority of the Residents. Saying it's fixed and then finding it still broken is....well, annoying.
I'd also like to address the call for less updates vs the call for more bug fixes vs not adding new features.
These seemngly seperate voices are really all the same. Some new features might need to be added to fix bugs. Well and good, but leave working systems alone until all other bugs are fixed. The new Pie Menu System and Snapshot Tools should never have been inplemented until many other bugs were fixed.
The reasoning for this is for the Residents, it provides a more sstable platform, and for Linden Programmers...it provides a more stable platform. Adding new features to a bug free plaform is much easier than adding it to one with bugs that the fixes might change the very nature of the new feature.
With the call for less updates, people mean, both, to not add more features and to do more in-depth bug testing of bug fixes. This last update should should you why. Minor problems will always creep up, but a fix just not working is something that should never slip through the system.
Take 2 weeks, a month, whatever. Test and retest bug fixes while other bugs are fixed and added to the test que. I for one would rather deal with an annoying bug for that long to have it fixed correctly instead of in a rush.
Lastly, some of the bugs and needed fixes have been around for years. I know programming and bug-hunting is not easy, but if those there can not fix it, lets find out why and get these things fixed. Forget new features to pull in new Residents. Those Residents wont stay in a broken community and long-time Residents are begining to leave over them.
I'd suggest focusing on the bugs and the fixes. The beginning will be a huge undertaking, but if LL works as a team then every success will make the next all the easier as more resources are spread over less and less problems till it's all gone.
Once all the bugs are gone, the future of SL can skyrocket. Add 5 features in a week, listen to Resident's comments, fix issues and make SL bug free again, then move on to the next 5.
