Rich text field - (#5340) If you use a web-based mail program, such as google gmail, in rich text mode you may not see the cursor and you may not be able to type in the text field.
- To work around this, set your email to use 'Plain Text' mode. In gmail there is a link just above the body field to switch between plain and rich text.
Can't attach file in gmail - (#5323) The browser may crash if you try to attach a file to your email from within google gmail. When you click on attach it takes a long time to try to open the journal.
- With this build you cannot attach a file to email. You can copy the file from the journal to a USB stick to get it off the XO.
Fly-overs sometimes don't go away - (#4514) After hovering over an icon on the Sugar UI, a fly-over may show up providing information or actions. Sometimes the fly-over remains on the screen after the action has started.
- To get rid of an old fly-over message, move the mouse and hover over another icon. Then move the mouse until it is not hovering over any icon.
Browse can't play back Record audio or video - (#4783) Audio and Video that is created in the Record activity cannot be played back in the browser.
- To play back your audio or video, find the Record activity in the journal and resume it. The original video and audio is saved there and can be played back while in Record.
