Can't Unpack Boxes

Ever since the Wednesday update, I can't unpack boxes of objects that I have bought.

I used to do this:

1) Move the box from my inventory to the ground
2) Click the box, select contents
3) copy everything from the box to my inventory

When I do that since the update, I get just an empty folder. No error messages, and I find the items haven't copied.

To work around the problem, I must:

1) Move the box to the ground
2) Open my inventory
3) Open contents on the box
4) Drag items from the box to my inventory one by one

I hope this can be fixed soon; it used to work just fine.

it did this to me a long time ago.. and the lindons asked me a bunch of questions about it before, no offence, giving me the brush off(meaning i didnt hear back from them >.>;).

I dont know if it was me reinstalling sl or one of the updates.. but it eventually kind of wore off.

Yes, I have the same problems too. I had sent an updated version of some clothes I made to my customers -- all packaged in a nice bag, of course. One of them IMed me, telling me she had a problem opening the bag. I first thought it was my mistake, but then someone else told me it was a bug. :/

I hope it gets fixed soon. A friend of mine sells packs of items (as in, 50-odd items in one bag), and it's almost impossible to drag and drop every single item into one's inventory without missing one.

Wow! I guess everyone is having a bad day shopping!

Is there something we (or I) need to do to "officially" report this bug?
