Funny, while reading this I found a new bug in WB 4.5.

If WB 4.5 is skinning any browser that uses the IE engine (tested on both Maxthon and Avant), and you use the Find window (Ctrl-F) to search for text, then close the Find window... the browser locks up. Avant recovers after a while, but Maxthon seems to die completely most of the time.

Adding an exception that disables just the titlebar skinning seems to resolve the issue.

It's not happening here though I am using Blog Navigator.  I will ask someoen in the lab to try this with Maxthon or Avant.

Good read that, but they only rated it an 8 out 10.

Good grief, it's at least a 9.5!

Using Maxthon here, does not work fine. It locks up after closing a search. Also the download animation is broken somehow, the regular Windows download animation shows instead.

Depends on the skin for me.....Koasati's TranKwill skin does not lock it up. A personal port of KoL's MM Maggra-X does.
