Hello,
When are you going to fix the longstanding Alpha bug, when items with alpha textures half disapear against other items with alpha texture?

A fix for this is not currently in the development pipeline, although that doesn't mean it won't happen. Our development pipeline changes frequently, and there are many side projects that get completed without being on the official timeline. that said, it is not a trivial problem to fix.
The bug you are refering to is the infamous alpha sorting bug, and believe it or not it exists in most 3D applications and games. You don't see it most of the time because the artists and level designers take great care to avoid it. The following page has a small section about this problem at the bottom. It also has some other good modeling advice. http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=RealtimeModeling _____________________
