I use the camera controls alot, and with the update the chat cursor leaves the chat window when you input camera control. This means you have to click on the chat window before talking, or you jump and bounce around like an idiot. I always forget, sigh. I hate this new feature (bug).

Editing a linked prim, changing the skew, taper, or hollow unlinks the whole object. Not cool when working on a 100 + object. (submitted bug report on this one)

So that is why I have been bouncing all over the place? I thought it was me.

That's half of why. Ther other half is all those UI buttons STEAL FOCUS. Open the chat history and close it with the same button. Hit enter. Voila, the history button--having focus--was "clicked" by the enter command (a.k.a. "choose selected option"

I was chatting away and suddenly realised that I was jumping all over the place. I felt like I was back in my first days in SL

Using alt-gr (does the same as holding ctrl+alt) camming is wierd now, hold mouse button down , then sometimes cam slowly goes downwards by itself, never did this before.

Agreed >_<

I feel like such an idiot when I realize I'm bouncing around instead of chatting, but just hitting enter like I used to to change to chat if it deselected (which it does all the time now) Instead seams to remove my chat bar entirely most of the time X_X

i've gotta second the keyboard focus as the worst part in the update for myself. is it kosher to bug report an intentional change made by the devs?

I know. This is the problem that I hate the most. Seriously, who thought that this would be a *good* idea?

I agree this update is very annoying. Having to click somewhere to always go back into chat after moving the camera around. What were they thinking?

The key that makes you jump

may possibly be the most frequently used letter in the English language.

So if you want to try writing sentences without it

, take an example from Gadsby: http://www.spinelessbooks.com/gadsby/

Cannot replicate this. There may be other conditions involved.

I've been complaining about this keyboard focus thing for 3 patches now... I realize that i'm very much in the minority of people in SL who actually use mouselook to move around, but it's bloody annoying to have to click or esc before [M] will work.

The camera auto movement is also starting to bug me... It's been around awhile but it seems to get worse every patch. It's getting harder and harder to build anything in SL because I cant keep the camera ON the objects I'm building now....

No, it's been fixed. So far the only texture it does not find is the default yellow wood texture.

My goodness! I had wondered what this was!!!
I could'nt quite put together the sequence of events that preceded it, but every so often, I'm typing in chat (or so I think) and BOING! BOING! BOING! I'm like kangaroo on caffeine! Please fix that ASAP!!!!!

In other worlds I get caught up in the AutoRun keyboard mapping, but I can eventually learn not to do that! This I had no warning on - and haven't seen any info there at all!

(Hit E to go BOING!) lol

Whopeee! we got another "Upgrade" they have laoded several more bugs for us to cope with. Why doesnt anyone at LL listen to their customers.

Now its almost impossible to build as the edit window locks and will not release the cursor when you type a value into a field

also the friends online window was wrecked on 1st startup

I dread to think what else will turn up over the next few days.
