Ooh! And now that I am using beta at work, I remember why I really
disliked beta--when I use it from work (where, admitedly, I have old
Explorer as a browser, and no real likelyhood of it getting upgraded
any time soon, so it is probably the fault of old Explorer rather than
the beta interface), when I am typing comments or commands, about half
the time I press the "space" key (which happens a lot when you are
typing commands or comments, odly enough...), it doesn't place a space
in my line, but instead will 'cause the screen to auto scroll to the
bottom and stop typing. So imagine if you will, half the time that you
press the space key while typing something, the typing stops, you jump
out of the text box, and you scroll down to the bottom of the screen.
So then you have to scroll back up the screen, click in the text box
again, type another word, hit space, hope it doesn't freak out again,
type another word, hit the space key, it probably freaks out again,
and then start the whole process over.

Again, this is probably easily solved by using a different browser (I
use Safari at home, and it works fine), but as I have zero control
over the browsers and upgrades on my old, crappy work computer, I'm
stuck with old Explorer and the crazy "space key" bug. Which makes me
not like beta.

So in any case, any chance of the alpha interface getting put back on
line soon? Please?
