Thanks, most likely a bug

v3.0beta3 does not work at all on my pc.
At least on boards with v6 installed - I click connect, it says Logging in, Downloading plugins and then nothing happens - no error message, no winbox window, it just closes.
Tested to open a board with routeros v5 - works normally.

What kind of Routerboards are you using. I have multiple mipsbe based devices and all are connecting normally with Router OS 6.5 installed.

Almost everything with mipsbe from v6.7 to v6.18

I can log in to mipsbe devices with Beta3 running 6.1, 6.15 and 6.18 (all i have to test straight away).

As you are able, it adds a tab in winboxie recently used hosts, alongside neighbors.

After connect, click "Quick Set" and "Cancel" and again "Quick Set" - winbox window just closes.

suggestion

when viewing log, having the option to clear the screen of log; filter and locate.

Same happens on my Vista 32bit, the only difference is, "microsoft checking solution" message.
On win7 64bit beta3 works.

After entering the address and password, I click on "Connect" and Winbox3.0b3 crashes:

The design of having the naked letter "r" remove entries is awful human engineering. Click (but miss) the password field, start typing a password with an "r" in it, and you (silently) delete whatever entry was chosen before you realize it -- and there is no undo!

In the old Winbox, if I clicked "make supout.rif" and named the supout x, I'm pretty sure it would make a file named x.rif. The beta Winbox just makes a file named x.

When drag-and-drop copying files to a router via Winbox, the old WInbox used to let you access the main window during the copy (to check Files, Queues, resize the window, or whatever). The new Winbox just gives you an error beep if you try to click anywhere on the main window while the copying dialog window is live.

Hi,

When I use WinBox3b3 then sometimes I can not access second level menu eg. System/Clock.
The just popped up submenu does not take focus on itself. When I activate first level action
eg. Log then submenus work again.

It is not constant behavior. It happens from time to time.

Winbox 3 beta3, Win7 x64: A bug when using TeamViewer 9. (same issue which pppixel posted about on page 2)

Winbox interface with TeamViewer running:


Winbox interface without TeamViewer running:

This is not a Winbox bug specifically, Teamviewer ruins all kinds of applications. Just don't use that Quick launch button

found a bug with similar graphics issues to the one above.

If i modify the name of winbox i get that graphical issue. fix the name and i fix the graphics

Hello, this surely are not bugs, but are things that made easy to work with the previous version.
I don't save passwords and when I double-click a device in the list winbox automatically tries to connect without asking a password nor setting focus on password text box. The previous version did.
Ahother one, when I had too much child windows I keep pressed ctrl+f4 and all child windows closed except the main. Now the main windows closes too. I think it should close with alt+f4 not ctrl+f4.
And last, when a double-click an input box, address password... anything, it doesn't select the text.
Thanks in advance. These are small things but makes you able to work faster.

Hello,
new version is great, but there is tiny "bug".
When I sort managed routers by Address, it sorts it not by value but as string, e.g.:

172.16.1.10
172.16.1.11
172.16.1.2
172.16.1.3

It should sort like this:

172.16.1.2
172.16.1.3
172.16.1.10
172.16.1.11

Thanks

It is ASCII-order used from ages in sorting.
"1" < "11" < "2" < "22" < "23" < "A" < "a" ......

Next problem could be order of
172.16.16.0/24
172.16.16.0/16
which one is "less" ?

he says about router IPs. you cannot have 172.16.16.0/24 as host address

"1" < "11" < "2" < "22" < "23" < "A" < "a" ......

Of course it is, but it is an inappropriate choice of sort to use in this context. Sorting that way helps no one, and just makes other people's jobs harder.

172.16.16.0/24

/IP route display has no problem figuring that out, use the same algorithm.

While you're at it, can you please fix the long-standing bug with non-working clipboard shortcuts?

There are two sets of them in Windows:
(a) well-known Ctrl+X/C/V
(b) less known Shift+Del (cut), Ctrl+Ins (copy) and Shift+Ins (paste)

Many people may not even know about the second, but they do exist and in fact worked in every single program I've ever used so far. Just try it, if you don't believe me. In every Windows from 3.1 to 8.1, in every program, it works just fine. The only exception are newer WinBox versions (since ROS 4.x I think). I'm sure that in WinBox it's not left out intentionally, it's most likely just result of implementing own edit controls (it worked in old versions, where standard edits were used) and nobody at MikroTik using (b) shortcuts.

I would love the feature to backup all the routers that are managed by winbox in one click

Suggestion: Winbox currently does not display or handle changes to the POE configuration value ether1‑poe‑in‑long‑cable. Winbox knows to display POE-out ports with an additional POE panel showing status, power consumption, etc.—it should also have a POE panel for the POE-in port of a POE-out Routerboard that shows the “long cable” setting. This will also help clarify that this setting applies to the cable length on the POE-in port instead of the POE-out ports.

Hello!
Thank you so much for new WinBox version!

Please make possibility to work as portable app. This will help us to create a crypted(axcrypt) portable usb flash drive with our data. Maybe like utorrent with settings.dat.

Thank you!

Hello. My observations :
- Winbox3 has a tendency to eat all CPU it can. Right after it is started. Stops when minimized. In fact, CPU consumption is dependant on window size.
- Please add an option to disable the leading rows for each new letter. For lists with a few hosts it actually hurts visibility.

Winbox 3 does not save "Inline comments" settings between sessions. Winbox 2 does.

I'd like to post a feature request for Winbox 3 - have an option (like the hide passwords option) for confirm disable/delete of items with a confirmation dialog.

I was working on something and accidentally moved focus back to winbox and hit delete - there goes one of my main transit link VLAN's had to add back in. Got me thinking it'd be nice to have an option to set it to force a confirmation on disable/delete. I can see how this could get annoying which is why I'm also suggesting it be able to be turned off.

I too have had similar problems, usually accidentally changing route-filter or firewall-filter policy orders when using a trackpad on a laptop. I solved this by making WinBox access Read Only, forcing all changes to be done from the CLI.

The original proposal is ambiguous. If you are in the window where you are talking to a router, you should be able to undo an accidental delete or disable with the counterclockwise arrow button in the upper left. If you are in the initial "list of hosts" window, indeed there is no undo capability there (and maybe should be), but then the mention of "disabling" something doesn't make sense.

Agreed, this works most of the time. Apart from when you don't have safe mode on, then accidentally delete an interface and cannot get on the router, or move a route filter and stop advertising the management IP's range to the internet.

The Revert button and "Safe Mode" protect the user from the majority of mistakes.

I would be more interested in seeing RouterOS "version" the changes and allow you to "roll-back" to a change point, like JunOS.

This is kind of achieved with partitioning - I tend to copy running config to next partition when I am happy that its stable, so I always have a stable config to go back to (same with ROS version). This works better on the bigger routers that have more space - for instance, on the CCR i run 3 partitions so I can have stable ROS/Config, Upgraded ROS and upgraded config, so I should at the least always have a rollback to a version and config that I know to be stable .

Either way I see an optional confirmation on delete/disable as not too hard of a thing to implement, especially while its still in beta

- Please add an option to disable the leading rows for each new letter. For lists with a few hosts it actually hurts visibility.

Add to that, on random ocassions some hosts get missing from the list. Restart Winbox3 and they are back.
I'm sorry to say that I am falling back to old winbox. Winbox 3 offers no big advantages over previous version while introducing some annoying things.
You shouldn't post this version as a default download. It's not ready.

WinBox3 should automatically connect to selected host after double-click only when "Keep password" is selected for that host to prevent unsuccessful logins with empty passwords

no chances to have ports lists, like we're already have adress-lists ? ability to have protocols lists(to elegantly/compact white/black-list and manage them across network)would be welcomed too, but not as much necesity as previous request.
and add not only "src MAC" for filters, but also "dst MAC", probably ?

for Mac there a would be made MacBox, probably.
and/or WinBox in fully cross-platform shape, like writenn over Qt libs or Vxwidgets.

Because professional WISP do not use any apple device.

proffestionals not use Mac at all.
thats major credo, major development/design emphasis and major taget consumers category of Apple for decades.

p.s.
but talking seriously, making WinBox available across All platforms, like xBSD, Android, Linux, "MacOS", BeOS, WinMobile would be nice and very helpful. and woul benefit MT in long-term, but demand HR resources&time, MT may lack, sadly.
technically there was some folks(two if i was remember right?), showing mild interest about creating tablets-oriented["metro"-styled] alternative working over API for Android, two years ago, but development even not started, sadly.

the same with rb951-2n on win7 32bit.
strange that mikrotik didn't leave alternative link to old winbox

All display settings are lost between closing Winbox 3, and starting a new Winbox 3 session to the same device, regardless of the setting of "Load previous session".

Any estimate when this one's going to be fixed? The same issue persists with version 3.0beta3. Thanks.

I believe the following is a new bug in beta 3.

If I sort the site list by address, then quit Winbox, when I relaunch WInbox around a quarter of the Group entries show up blank. If I sort by Group, they sort as blank. If I leave them sorted by Group, then quit and relaunch Winbox, all the Group contents show up again.

This is similar to the (still unfixed) issue in which if you quit Winbox when in the Neighbors tab, when you relaunch Winbox and go to the Managed tab, most of your sites have simply disappeared, and you have to relaunch Winbox again to get them back. This one hits me every day.

My winbox 2 is constantly overwriting and removing ALL group info from winbox 3 beta.

It would be nice to have in winbox a 'load configuration file' or 'choose config file' so you could potentially have multiple, 1 for 1 network, 1 for the other etc.

Or at the least - while this is on beta, create a separate winboxbeta.cfg, and on first load if winboxbeta.cfg doesnt exist copy details from winbox.cfg but keep them separate.

I'm loving the sort by group, would be good if the Group heading when 'show categories' is set, could be collapsable as well, so you can just have all closed except for the group your interested in.

Just a few ideas =)

beta 3 doesnt work for me either on W&-64bit doesn't matter what boxes I have on the other side just doesnt come up

worked fine on my Win8.1up and Win7 sp x64 boxes. just in case of something specific - try update ACT from MS sites or use "compatibility" tab on WinBox binaries, as desperate/temporal measure.

I'd also like to report that when I was on an OmniTik - I was specifically looking at the Wireless Registration table but when a client registers it crashed my Winbox. Unfortunately I can't get meaningful stack traces as I am running in WINE on Ubuntu. Not sure if it happens with other wireless AP routers, I will have to test.

I also have the "Crash when connecting" issue with Winbox Beta3. Beta2 works fine. I'm running Windows 8 x64, reasonably fresh build.

Winbox loads fine to the point where it's connecting to the router, seems to download plugins etc and tries to log in, then it quits and you get the "winxbox.exe has stopped working" dialog.

Confirmed, this also works for me. Cheers!

Since beta 3, the Group function is just flaky.

When launched in Managed mode, sometimes all the Group fields are populated (I have a Group defined for every unit), and sometimes some (maybe 10-20%) show as blank. If you sort them, the ones that appear blank will all sort first. Yet if you single-click on one of them, the five top fields (Connect to .. Group) all come up properly, including the correct Group.

When launched in Managed mode, and I add a new router with a non-blank group, the router always appears in the list with a blank group. The group of the new router will not appear until I quit and relaunch, and that's assuming I don't encounter one of those launches where 10-20% of the groups show as blank.

After the announcement that 6.20 will only work with Winbox3, I started testing it a bit. I'm using Windows 7 SP1 x64 and have found that it can only save 5.x window sessions (it might save them but definitely can't load them). 6.x sessions are always started with a blank window, regardless of the state of the "Load Previous Session" switch. Please fix this before mandating the use of Winbox3 for newer ROS versions.

Noyo, why is a changed button location a bug?

We suggest to read the label of any buttons that you intend to push. This will get you out of most trouble in life.

For me this is a problem, because I am a visual learner and almost clear the wlan on the mast
This change is very cumbersome, because of that you can clear the wlan1.

Nice upgrade.

Bug to report - when using a laptop with a dock and external monitor and have Winbox running on the monitor, if you later try to operate winbox, it "opens" on the missing display. there is no option to move the window back to the main display - haven't found a standard windows option / keypress that will return it to the display.

Thanks.

Hey Normis...As I, and others, have mentioned this V3 version is a show stopper since it crashes on W7. What are you guys doing to fix this. I also agree not to hold us hostage on buggy software.

Thanks leon

solution was already there. thanks for this.

When running bandwidth test in Winbox 3, the little box at the bottom that shows TX and RX is very undependable. If you run a TX test, collect some data, then run an RX test, the RX graph lines start from the left hand side of the existing TX graph lines, and the box at the bottom reports nothing except the old TX figure, until the RX graph lines reach the right hand edge, then suddenly the box reports RX figures. Overall, the test runs properly, but the box does not report it properly.

btw is ANY chance to make WinBox portable(eg: re-write it over Qt or Vx? ) in future?
ie available not only as Windows binary but on all Desktop and probably mobile plaforms at-once.
in WinBox 4, 5, maybe ? :-"|

Their cross platform solution is Webfig - so it is unlikely.

For mobile devices - you have the API to make clients with. I'd imagine full Winbox functionality wouldn't be used too much on iOS/Android, more so just to monitor and grab stats which can be done via API.

Also - winbox appears to run quite OK in WINE on *nix and OSX. I use Ubuntu exclusively and run both winbox and winbox beta no problems.

I'd imagine full Winbox functionality wouldn't be used too much on iOS/Android, more so just to monitor and grab stats which can be done via API.

When I'm up on a roof or a tower trying to repair a node that isn't communicating, and need to see what a remote tower is seeing as I try to reconnect, I'd be extremely happy to have Winbox on my iPhone or iPad. Instead, I have to use webfig, which is extremely awkward and ponderous on a small screen.

What functionality does Winbox have that a mobile optimised app using the API couldn't do?

Keeping in mind - due to the locked down nature of mobile OS's, even with a proper 'winbox' client from MTik, MAC discovery/connection would probably be unavailable?

That's not a very interesting question unless you have one to suggest, and I don't know of any. My point is that I need to do more than just "monitor and collect stats." I also need to control and reconfigure.

I have a problem with this version, this version don't save session for me.
Is it normal or there is an error on my PC.

Router board : rb951ui -2Hnd

Is there any estimate of when the next beta will be available where we will see some of the bigger problems fixed? Having to relaunch Winbox to get my entire router list back, and having to re-open the windows I purposely left open on every connection I access is getting very tedious. Thanks.

There is a bug that i cannot stand

When using winbox version 3, it will not let me copy and paste anything via either CTRL+V or right-click to paste.

I run about 30 mikrotiks all over Florida and each one has at least 2 separate admin accounts, each with 24 character randomly generated password which I keep in our password database for the rest of my team. My policy states that passwords cannot be cached on any local computer, or stored in an unencrypted format.

SO what we need to do is look up the username and password combination in our Password Database, and then copy these credentials to the Winbox interface, and then log in. But in version3 we cannot do that.

Another use case, In setting up passwords on a new Mikrotik, we use our password generator to generate random 24 - 36 character passwords for admin credentials. Basically, we don't reuse passwords anywhere and the minimum credentials are randomly generated and at least 24 characters long. SO what we want to do is generate the password in our password system, and then copy it to Winbox when we create the credential to prevent miskeying the new password. This works in version 2.x but not in 3.

The final use case is that we have a lab where we develop requested rules for clients. When they ask for a new function or config change, we write the rules in our demo equipment, and then we export the command using the export function to get the code for that rule. Then we login to their Mikrotik and apply it in a terminal window. (We sell a Mikrotik Management service where we manage and maintain their firewalls.) Again this works in version 2.x but not in 3.

Essentially, copy and paste simply does not work for us in Version 3 at all.

Log window enhancements gone in B3.

If I start Winbox3B2 and connect to a router, the log window allows resizing the columns. If I start Winbox3B3 and connect to the same route, the log window does not allow resizing columns.

The B2 log window has filtering and the B3 log window has a freeze button (save as Winbox2).

Trying winbox 3, and i cannot seem to save sessions, i have tried all, do not load and then exit, it would just load blank, anybody else with same issues ?

Many people have already encountered and reported this.

Some bugs I found on winbox 3 beta 3:

- Some windows don't autorefresh: for example 'Firewall > Address List' and 'Wireless Tables > Registration'
- I get random crashes that don't seem to be connected to a specific action.

i have tried 4 computers on beta 3.3 non work. it shows logging in, and that was it??

I was going to try and shift to ver 3, and made all the groups, all looked nice, till i accidentally fired up ver 2, and all groups were lost !

the only session which was saved was with a router running x86 5.26, all the other i just cannot save session. I hope it does not become mandatory on Router OS next release.

Yup. Export your router list to a file regularly to protect against loss in case you should ever again fire up v2 by mistake.

it cannot scan the device?
old version can.

you can press neighbours so it shows the devices

This is not to report a bug but a feature I didn't expect!

Just noticed that under Os X (winebottled) drag n drop is working from finder to Winbox (not from Winbox to finder) but most useful: from winbox window to other winbox window (between routers! great!!)

feature a address book in cloud service for sync with username & password

When new version avalible?

feature a address book in cloud service for sync with username & password

I wouldn't want my router logins sync'd with the cloud, but the ability to save to a central location would be nice.

imidiatlly after login thru Winbox v3.0beta3 and hit quick set and than just hit OK button after this winbox freeze or just close itself.

here also, win7, if I don't use "open in new window" winbox craches after "connect"...

bad software

So many bugs/problems and still no new version...

That's what I wondering too! We're stuck in buggy beta 3

Hitting SAVE does not save the routers addresses.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, with Winbox v3.0 beta 3.

i made export saved my host in WinBox v3.
And When i opened exported files by notepad, i saw that the saved password for router doesn't encrypted.
it's very big hole in security.

It's the same in v2 also as I saw some years ago.

export or backup?

to protect export, use "export hide-sensitive=yes" command

to protect backups, use backup encryption (available in last versions)

No news about winbox 3 ?, stay in beta 3 ?

There's no longer a pointer to Winbox 2 from http://www.mikrotik.com/download
I inadvertently grabbed this as I was setting up a solution involving some Mikrotiks.
This seems more like an 'alpha' release than a late beta -- crashy, doesn't save sessions, etc.
NOT GOOD.

I'd strongly encourage Mikrotik to reinstate the Winbox 2 link.

Winbox 2 is downloadable from any mikrotik device Web page.

I am unable to use this in Win7 x64.
The window opens with a list of previously saved devices, but nothing appears in the top panel.

In Linux it is better, but I see the same issues others have mentioned with new devices not saving until winbox is restarted.

I am also now experiencing the issue with Winbox3 Beta 3 where in on Windows 7 64 machines I see the list of discovered decives, but no form fields. This just started int he last few days, and affects more than one machine. No changes on machines save for the last round of Windows Updates.

У меня Winbox beta3. Открываю PING, когда нажимаю на окне PING кнопку CLOSE закрывается полностью Winbox

In 1280 x 768 mode I can't see any fields below lifetime in the IPsec / peer window, the 3 missing fields do show up in 1280 x 1024.

Can't set CIDR notated network address into src.address field (ip > routes > rules).

192.168.1.0/30 - okay
192.168.1.10/30 - not okay
192.168.1.20/30 - okay
192.168.1.30/30 - not okay
192.168.1.40/30 - okay
192.168.1.50/30 - not okay
192.168.1.56/30 - okay

Is it normal behavior?

Yes, it is normal behaviour.

You must use the network address not node IP address.

Take for example, the node IP address 192.168.1.10/30. The network address is 192.168.1.8, broadcast address is 192.168.1.11 while the two nodes IP addresses are 192.168.1.9 and 192.168.1.10. In order to represent the range of IP addresses from 192.168.1.8 - 192.168.1.11, the CIDR notation is 192.168.1.8/30.

thanks, got it, this is cidr network not node src.addr

great work

is there anyway to add inline comment to active tab in hotspot ?? (show comments column in active tab)
i think it will be a good idea , because in my network users authenticate with their mac address , and i want to know the names (comment) of the active users from the same tab (active tab) without going to users tab

by the way in hosts there is inline comment , but is shows nothing in comment column

thank you in advance

in hosts comment column get comments from ip bindings not from users , but in active we need to show comments from users tab not from ip bindings

Hi,

where can i download Winbox ver.2?


I'm not satisfied with v3beta3.

It doesn't remember last session, and my list of managed sites is not full (when i open winbox in neighbors tab)

-Open winbox
-Click on neighbors tab
-Close winbox
-Open winbox again (now winbox opens in neighbors tab)
-Click on Managed tab (and managed list is not full. I see only about 20 saved sites of obout 100)

-To resolve this issue i need to close winbox when managed tab is open and run winbox again (then the managed sites tab is full)

You can download it from whatever routeros device. See its homepage.

Thank You, didn.t know that. I don't use webfig

It has nothing with webfig. It's just file download, nothing more. Glad I helped you.

I am also now experiencing the issue with Winbox3 Beta 3 where in on Windows 7 64 machines I see the list of discovered decives, but no form fields. This just started int he last few days, and affects more than one machine. No changes on machines save for the last round of Windows Updates.

I see from the top bar of the Winbox window that you have TeamViewer installed.

Click the double headed arrow (top right of the application window) and select disable this feature and Winbox 3b3 will work as expected. Took me a while to figure that one out.

So is this project officially dead, or in a coma, or what? There is a long list of known bugs, many reported by multiple people, and no new version for over four months. I continued to use V3 in anticipation of some of the biggest problems being addressed in a timely update, but I am about ready to drop back to V2 because even without the functions, it is a superior interface to how the beta behaves currently.

Disabling team viewer integration for windox 3b3 fixed my issue. Thank you!!

I suspect he's referring to exporting the winbox database itself, not exporting on his MikroTik.

Differences in Winbox.

In case you haven't noticed yet Winbox 3b3 isn't showing all of the new features added in the latest ROS, but they are visible in The older Winbox.

In the link below you can see two screen shots I've sent to Mikrotik support (Ticket#2015010966000616) showing bits like Cap Naming Format that are missing in Winbox 3b3 but do show up AND work in The older Winbox.

Ok so i just pulled a RB1100AHX2 out of the box and Winbox crashes every time. This also happens when i try yo connect to another Mikrotik i have in use. but it works just fine on the 50 or so other Mikrotik devices i connect to.

I am running the Latest Winbox 3.0 Beta3 and the RB1100AHX2 has 6.19 out of the box. the other device is a RB450G and has 6.5 on it. i added the system resource print below. any thoughts or help on this will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Under CAPsMAN > Interfaces > Manager
Package Path and upgrade policy is also missing in Winbox 3b3 but present in the older winbox

we have a ton of great new features for Winbox 3, we will be releasing a new beta shortly

Hope you are sure that it is capable to be working at least like v2. Otherwise take your time for testing and debugging.

I whole heartedly agree !!!

When a new version winbox?
Because I've got used to v3, but there are errors that are stressful.

i try winbox 3 beta 3 for 15 minutes and rolling back to version2 intermediately because:

2 crashes
not loading previous session

its better to wait on version 2

Hope you are sure that it is capable to be working at least like v2. Otherwise take your time for testing and debugging.

amen

We are already on beta12, so progress is going fast. It is much more stable than v2 ever was

So share with us...let us test it. Beta 3 is so annoying.

We are already on beta12, so progress is going fast. It is much more stable than v2 ever was

So PLEASE PLEASE release that beta version?

Why keep us on beta3 which has many issues?

We expect a RC1 today

We expect a RC1 today

Good news. Waiting for new beta
Also wanted to note that beta3 works fine for me and I switched to Winbox 3 since beta 2 using it till now. Using it on Windows XP and under Wine on Gentoo Linux.

Win XP is dead but for most of us more than usable however it is not the whole world.
Winbox + newer Windows is not perfect couple.

Anyone noticed a strange behavior if you configure vrrp trough winbox 3.0 beta3?

we had to switch to the old winbox(2) to configure a stable vrrp...

Normis is the winbox RC1 expected today?

We found a minor bug and will fix it before building RC1. Hopefully within a few hours. There are so many exciting new features, I am sure all of you will love it

Normis... now you made me laugh (in a good sense), i will be excited when i see a stable RouterOS x64 (no leaks, no kernel panic, no watchdog rebooting , stable software,etc...) running on my CCR's..

That is one i am sure all would love

Just a nice example on 2x CCR1009 with SFP+

Since we upgrade to 6.25 Bandwith test didin't work anymore... completely broken... (yes i've tested 6.26rc4 with fresh install)

Rolled back to 6.10 and the bandwith test via cli gives this perl....

I have been checking the "Check Updates" button for three days waiting for the update and it doesn't show up. Finally I suspected the button was not working, and found the update on the download page. So be aware that the button does not work.

It's possible it didn't work in beta3, but we will check what could be wrong there

Hi! I've tried to use the new 3.0rc1 and I found that it did nothing when I pressing Enter while the focus is at any field like "Connect to:" or "Password:" (I'm used to type a password then press Enter key to get connected). I found that it is possible to connect only by mouse click on "Connect" button. I've tried few times. While I'm typing this message, I tried again, and, a miracle, now it works! Hmm... Fantastic bug report reaction time!

Today I tried using the multiple open feature. When I clicked connect all, it opened one router, another copy of the directory window, the second router, a third copy of the directory window, then the third router. Surely that can't be intended operation.

Also the newsletter says something about a global in-line comment option. I haven't been able to find anything that looks like that.
