Unannounced Changes.

Hello, I want to mention here a number of things I noticed that are working differently then prior to today's patch (1.11).

Textures:
When I click an item and edit it then click the textures tab and the little texture picture that opens up the texture picker menu, the texture that you are editing no longer is highlighted, showing in your invendory. Previously it was easy to find a texture this way nut now it just shows all closed folders. I have no idea what the texture name of what I'm editing is and I have thousands of textures. Trying to remember where or what folder is unfathomable. WHY was this changed? I hope and pray it was something unintended. IT makes life 100x harder and a LOT more time consuming having to trudge through my entire texture inventory in HOPES of finding it.

Also flashing textures are back with a vengeance. YEP! I clicked on a new texture for my gallows I made and it suddenly started changing 5 different textures so quickly that had I epilepsy I may have had a seisure! They just flash between textures uncontrollably and even when you close out edit it continues for some time.

Chat:
I do not like the option of hitting Enter when the chat bar has no text to close the chat bar. THis was already easily done with the Esc key and I seen no real need to make Enter do this. NOW for the next 4 or 5 months I'll be subject to all kinds of fits of movment as I type with a closed chat bar unwittingly because of a change made for no good reason (as I said, Esc already closed the chat when no text was in it).

*sighs* what i've seen in this patch has been compeltely depressing aside from the SIM crashing issues.

I hope some of this is unintended and going to get fixed.

Some of this feels familiar--after working through my queue today or tomorrow, I hope to take a closer look, Savonah.

Re: Chat, is "Close chat after hitting return" checked in Preferences > Chat?

For reproducible problems be sure to file bug reports inworld: Help menu > Report Bug so our Quality Assurance team can check it out.

We've got a whole heap of things to contend with and will continue to grind through them vigorously so we can make stuff better for you.

[UPDATE] Alright I have some news for you, Sav!

Re: Texture picker, yes, I'd consider this undesirable behavior and I've entered it in our database. After all, how are you going to find the name of a texture after you've used it if you can't remember? Thanks for already filing a bug report on that!

Re: Chat, this is intentional. Here's why: you use Enter to open the chat bar when it's closed. Thus, Enter also closes it when it's open. I'll be watching out for more Resident feedback on this if it proves to be a pain, contrary to logic.

About the flashing textures--this may be graphic card-specific. I've checked and you have a:
I've heard recent reports of related problems on the same card. We'll continue to investigate this. Please also make sure you've updated your drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
