[UPDATE] Release Candidate viewer 1.20 makes me sick

No, really.  The newly released Second Life release-candidate viewer makes me physically ill.  It’s bad enough that they want to change client key mappings, or that they’ve totally borked the LOD again, or that I crash every time I try to zoom in on something, but this gives me vertigo :

Just the act of trying to move the camera around to make sure that the sheath is properly aligned on both side made me dizzy and gave me a headache :(

And that picture just doesn’t do justice to how horrible the effect is in-world.

[UPDATE] Got this response on the SL forums:

    I noticed that when I was trying to do some work on The Final Stand’s dojo. I switched back to the main client.

    I will be switching back to the main client long enough to finish my sword, then I believe I will be taking another SL-vacation. I need a few days off :)

    LL just keeps tighten the strangle hold on their own throat when it comes to the way they handle these changes. They need to do a better job of this stuff.
