Home location not accessible at Viewer start (SL v.3_7_20_296094_i686)

[WolfBaginski Bearsfoot]

I upgarded to the latest SL Viewer, hoping to see some benefit from the latest improvements to HTTP Pipelining as well as CDN (It doesn't seem to cope well with large numbers of avatars in a region)

With that viewer I am no longer able to select my home location at log-in. Luckily, it was my "Last Location", but it's awkward when the program suffered what appears to be a dropped connection during a TP. I cannot reliably predict what my Last Location will be in that situation, and there may be clashes between avatar attire and parcel age rating.

I am looking at the "clean install" process recommended by the Firestorm team, but I don't want to mess around with reloading caches at a weekend. Has anyone else seen this "Home"problem with the latest version?

If you switch accounts between logins, especially if one of your accounts has "favorite places", occasionally the word "home" won't end up at the top of the location list next to the "Log in at home" button. Clicking on the "down" arrow on that list will allow you to bring up "home" as an option.

There's no gaps on the drop-down menu for start location, just the one entry for Last Location. No way to enter a region name.

I did a clean reinstall.

It looks as though the new Login UI may be breaking if you have don't do that. "My Home" ends up with the favorites on a clean install.
