Hi, I am currently using the First Look viewer version 1.13.3(57876). I know this is 1 version old so far but am waiting to see if it's worth it to update it. I noticed two things that seemed odd to me. First, why isn't there a login screen similar to the one on the regular viewer? I can't see how many people are online and there are no links to the blog. It does say one thing that it should though. "First Look Viewer: Render Pipeline Improvements
This 'First Look' viewer is connected to the MAIN LIVE GRID. This is NOT a preview environment. All user information, currency, content, land and other transactions are REAL!"
Secondly, the wrong menus are coming up when I click on things in my inventory. It takes a second right click to make the correct menu appear.

Are either of these things different in the new version? Are there any other major improvements to the First Look viewer that make it worth downloading and reinstalling? One person I have spoken to so far has said not to bother downloading the new version because it is crash happy. I am going to go through the 100 comments blog post about this viewer shortly and any information about this new viewer would be greatly appreciated.
