Return: open textbar by default!

Please.. this is the most annoying thing you could have ever done. Return needs to default to open text, if you insist on making it open the last window, then please give us a preference option to have it the old textbar default!

I agree with this wholeheartedly. It's driving me crazy having return open random windows!

For the last time:
IT'S NOT RANDOM!
It's based on the last UI button you clicked.

It doesn't matter if it's random or not, it's not predictable. Unless you remember what button you last clicked five minutes ago, anyway.

Not-predictable might as well be random.

It strikes me as something that must have been come up with by someone who doesnt play SL enough for their behaviors to become automatic.

Since it's changed, I find myself bouncing around, and bumping into things for no reason that I'm even aware of. I haven't met one person in game who *doesn't* hate it and want it changed.

If they're so wedded to this, could they at *least* give us a way to lock it back to the old way for those of us who hate the new enter key behavior?

Seriously, this would probably be getting tons more complaints if it weren't for the fact that so many other things are so severely broken.

I agree, bouncing round like an idiot is a problem, but its currently low on my list of "Things in 1.11 that piss me off"
I cant help but wounder if the person who designed this travesty of a patch even bothered to play second life, or for that matter listend to anyone else who had. All this patch did was add a few pointless or badly thought out features, and a Long list of bugs and flaws.
And to rub salt in the wound I bet they'll release a hundred new patches in the coming weeks to repair the damage done instead of just wiping the thing and starting back a patch or two...



"And the Golden lemeon award goes to... SL-1.11!"

I and everyone I know hates it. My friends and i are on SL a lot. Addicts you might say. We all find ourselves bumping and jumping around. Stuff opening and closing all over. And for what reason!! Is irt supposed to improve the flow somehow? What on earth was the designer thinking? Does he/she have a device in their house that turns all the lights off every time you say "the" unless you open a can of tomatoes first? That's what its like....I must remember to click back in the chat before doing anything .... Who does this help?? Are 99% of users being forced to change their ways to suit some guy in a concrete bunker with a custom bult laptop with half a keyboard?? GET RID OF IT NOW!!!! Dont just change it because you can. Think long and hard before adding a feature that helps nobody
I like the new colour and texture picker. The bendy prims are magnificent. But WHY OH WHY did you make the chat into a leap around and open things device????

Aggregating this thread. We've got our eyes on this feedback. Thanks for the comments.

It went away and i was happy again. Please please please tell me why it came back? I would really like to know just what use it is and who it helps. And why oh why can't I at least have a choice to turn it off?? Please please please fix this madness it is lowering the quality of so many users Second Lives

Because it's to far in the past for them to remember they already did the cockup. Took them a month to fix this last time I just hope they don't take a month to fix it again. Jumping all over and running off in some direction after using some other ui item like the camera control which I use a lot is really annoying.

Yes i agree this is anoying. ive one too many times been stuck playing gestures and sounds because i didnt close the windows for them when i attempted to chat after using them.

The old one step forward, three steps back syndrome. Please LL, stop all work on new "Items to enhance the Second Life experience", and fix the base product. Why do you insist on bolting performance items on youre engine, untill after you get it running on all cyclinders first?

You mean we're back to jumping around again when we try to talk?

Surely this is an error, and not an intentional thing?

If it is intentional, then it's just one more good reason why they need to stop their kiddies from playing around with things and putting in whatever they think would be cool.

Yup we are, and yup it probably is, but you wonder why it wasn't caught during any testing of the patch?

They do test them dont they?

Yes we are and I filed a bug report on it.
It was 95% fixed in the last release, but now I am jumping around like Tigger again While I like some of the new stuff, I would like to see the stuff that gets fixed, remain fixed.

Look at the stuff nobody ever reads when you install a new version. The first update on that day when there were three in a day proudly states "enter closes chat. reinstated" or along those lines. I assure you this is no bug. For some reason they have decided we want this madness. I am waiting for someone to tell me what on earth it is for. I have met ONE player who prefers to use the letter keys to navigate and is paranoid so uses IM and not chat. Maybe he is the reason they have inflicted this chaos on the rest of us?????


I am seriously thinking of holding a demonstration. Please IM me in game and we can get a group together to arrange meeting en masse with banners to show our dissaproval.
