Josh, I guess you're too new to the list to have seen the *many* messages saying in effect, come on already GW, we need 7.1, just release it already!!!
Someone else pointed out they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. All and all, many more people have more problems solved by 7.1 than caused by 7.1. however, since we have scripting, a great problem solver, if we can be detectives and find out exactly which situations cause problems, there's just a chance we can get a script to work around it until the next release of window eyes.
