As was true for version 8, certain letters (L's and I's I think) seem to vanish from certain text; so "Feliz Navidad" becomes "Fe z Nav dad" in the similarly-named activity. Closing that activity also caused Sugar to reboot. Ignore the repeat that follows; I wasn't able to post less than I quoted so I'm just going to triple my post through repetition.
