Bugs Report: Are Primmies scared of me?

Greetings all!

I started to build a house. Sometime I wanted to unlink some of the prims or to move around. One or more prims decided to be invisible (and also) vanished, and it followed to the next... again... again... So I waited for them to appear... since yesterday. Still, I am waiting. Nothing came back.

Finally, I received a very first message that said it goes in "Lost & Found" from the inventory (wtf? why inventory? Should appear where it was placed where I built in the very first place but it vanished then appear in the lost n' found? HUH? ). It was ONLY ONE prim. So I drag it out of my inventory and IT vanished again, SO fast. The total I lost prims are about 30 to 40 prims. One alive and still hiding and the rest are total gone. Where?

Good day,

The lost and found is where items that were auto-returned to you go.
That is, if you build on someone else's land and the anuto-return land feature is enabled after X minutes, your stuff gets sent back to you.

Prims disappearing seems to be a common occurence lately, and when they're gone, they're gone for good.

Note that this is different than the Occlusion bug. With that one, the prim is still there, and still collides with your AV if you try to walk through it. Best way to know if this is not an occlusion bug - try to walk through where the prim was..

This is a major problem, and I have been trying to raise the alarm bells for the past week.

While Torley has responded to my thread about this, I'm not sure that they've yet pulled the fire alarm on it.

Other folks have reported this in world as well, at least to me. Live Help tells me that they've heard of it happening as well.

The BEST things that you can do:

1. File a bug report - right away.
2. Raise a stink on the forum to raise awareness.
3. Support and validate others who have the problem, because there's nothing worse than feeling like you're alone in the fight.

If you own an island, you may have other options available to you.

Good luck, my brothers and sisters, and godspeed!

I own a land (bought)

I'm definitely looking out for a reproduction to do this--it hasn't happened to me yet but I'll be keeping an eye on it. Thing about bugs, they can be TRICKY BASTARDS (!@#$!!!), but once we know how one behaves, we can choke it and squash it to death. yeah I know that sounded violent but I bet that's how some of you feel... and exactly why it's important to us to fix this, since it sounds like content loss (as opposed to just a visual disappearance).

So if anyone knows how to get this to happen over and over, safe to say we'll have it nailed soon. Feel free to email me, [email]torley@lindenlab.com[/email] if you discover it. I've got this thread bookmarked.
