I will second that. 
At my setup, it kept switching to noncw mode on and off, frequently switched 
to CQ mode instead of answering the caller, so I send my call in reply to the 
calling station (I almost smashed the stupid keyboard few times) - solicited 
few LID comments. It quit on me (froze) few times, had to restart the 
computer, glad I had regular paddle to send AS. 
Never had those problems with previous versions, same setup, same everything. 
I guess I should be more conservative with "upgrading", wait untill others 
will find the bugs. (I was using IC 781, 3 upgrades back it was running 
smooth, without single hickup.)
Another problems is to send CW with paddle via computer with delayed sending 
after PTT pickup, while trying to listen to rigs monitor. Delay screws up the 
coordination finger - ear. Should either eliminate delay PTT - Send or feed 
the computer audio to headphones. 
Back to old version.
