That's why it's called "beta".
No, that is not why it is called a BETA.
Furthermore, we are not talking about a Beta 1 release of a version 1
but of version 10.3.
Now, somewhere in between a version 1 and a version 10.3 someone,
anyone, with a bit of brain and nous and know-how would have figured
out on what has to be put into place, and how software should be
tested by staff being paid on writing it and administrating its
implementation and release on the open market, to have the software in
a state where it CAN be called a BETA and have people spend their time
and money in downloading the product to be able to make judgements
about its efficacy and offer suggestions on how to improve it.
Cheers.
I don't think it make any sense for us to expect a beta version to be
perfect. It's always buggy before the ultimate completion. OS worked out
by MS can even be buggy anyway.
Basically, I don't see it any good for people who are not pros in OS and
programming field to use BETA version (any kind of beta), especially
when we are talking about Linux Distros. They are not MS product and
much more complicated.
So if you are a pro or a programmer, then you'd better stay cool and
find out that bug which annoyed you so much and then report it or even
mend it.
If you are not, just like most people, why don't you go back to openSUSE
10.2?
