Sorry to add more to the whining but... Yes, you are in the testing tree. Yes, as a member of testing, *you* expect things will occasionally break, and it is *your* job to test things, break them, and report bugs. > And no, don't expect the devs to have tested something even they have told you is "experimental" and might not always work. If you don't like the unpredictability of testing, move to something more *stable* and don't enable options that come with a caveat. >
