Hi,
I've been using second life on my macbook for a while but the latest release is making it almost unusable. I find if that I fly in one direction with my finger on the forward key for more than a few seconds my avatar will keep flying in the same direction and cannot be stopped even to the point where it will fly through solid walls and mountains. If I try to teleport out I get a message that teleporting is not available and i will eventually be auto logged out of second life. Anyone else having this issue?
Cheers
Mizu P

It sounds like a typical presence bug - I think they're called that, if I recall correctly it's to do with the server losing track of where you are and you losing track of what's going on in the server. I've been getting them a lot today too. Good news: it's not specifically down to the Mac client.

Been really buggy today, but is maybe fixed again. Happens mostly if you fly over a sim-border into a new simulator, it doesn't pass you over correctly so you keep flying, since the client assumes it's okay to do so until told otherwise.

This sounds like a network issue rather than a mac-specific problem (though macbooks are not great for SL because of limited graphics memory). I had exactly the same problem on both PC and mac, and it was because I was connecting from a shared network IP address and SL requires an individual IP.

I get this on both Mac and Windows. It seems to be a sim handoff issue, it looks like the client never gets the packets telling it you've been handed off to a new sim.
