No, not yet. I build from CVS so I tend to leave things for a few days
before filing a bug. Using CVS builds I often find that "bugs" appear,
only to disappear a couple of hours later. For example, my current build
from about 18 hours ago has no higlighting of the selected (i.e. mouse
over) item on *any* menu. I'll bet if I update my tree and re-build
tonight it will be working again.
As far as the WSoD problem is concerned, I haven't seen the pop (slide)
up notification again since I aborted the download of alert.xul.
