I don't see any mention of this bug in the known issues, the one that means we CAN'T BUILD.

A resident has figured out two methods to reproduce this, though it doesn't affect everyone. But for those of us it does effect, it means our careers are over, our businesses toast. I have not been able to build since before Christmas. You did something in the update that broke it.

Please try the following to see if this bug effects you:
1. Rez a cube (box)
2. Shift drag a duplicate
3. Click the texture tab in the build menu
4. Change the "repeats per face" horizontal and vertical to 10.0 each
5. Shift select the other cube
6. Link
7. Click the general tab in the build menu
8. Texture will shift


1. Rez a cube (box)
2. Shift drag a duplicate
3. Click the texture tab in the build menu
4. Change the "repeats per face" horizontal and vertical to 10.0 each
5. De-select the cube
6. Select the cubes so the one with 10 repeats per face is the last selected
7. Link
8. Click the general tab in the build menu
9. Texture will shift on the cube that is not the root prim


Please IM Autumn Heyse if you can recreate this bug. It doesnt always happen for alot of people and I would like to see just how common it is.

And these are not the ONLY ways to have it happen; it's just the ways she came up with that reliably reproduce it, for those people it affects. Her business has ground to a halt, too.

You also can't get a texture to go to, like, 1.2 for the entire PRIM by putting in 1.2. It just sits there. Etc.

My own experience is that no matter how small the item, the texturing simply will not work, that it is probably bugged in more ways than the reproductions above show. I have not been able to build since before Christmas.

Are you all working on this bug now that the above has been reported to you, by me and by others?

Now we have a definite way to reproduce it - but it apparently affects only some people, but not others. I worry that THAT means you won't put it as a priority to fix.

To me, it is a priority to fix. There will be no point in me paying premium and paying tier and having a store if I can't build.

I also consider it a priority because it would be just terrible to have new people trying to learn how to build, and having to tell them, "Oh, sorry, you are one of the ones who can't texture anymore, too bad."

Some official word on this would be good.

EDIT: Just to say, it wasn't me who figured out that repro, OR explained it so clearly. It was Autumn Heyse, and as soon as I can get back to building I plan to build a monument in her honor, lol.

To my knowledge we haven't confirmed your repro, Coco, but thanks for spelling it out so clearly. Will get the bug hunters on it ASAP...I can see why you would consider this a showstopper for your business and can understand the frustration! Hang in there.
