Texting highlighting being broken, playerlist not opening when the client is maximized and various quirks like that makes using v6 a painful experience imo.

The text highlighting and PM windows not staying centered (tiled PMs ftl) is both very annoying, but I find that V6 just runs better than V5... I don't use the fullscreen mode so I can't really comment on that.

I didn't really find much of a performance difference between v5 and v6 so I'm not really forced to pick one for better performance. Also the maximize thing means if I minimize Graal to my taskbar when I open the window back up the playerlist remains hidden until I also bring it back up. It's fairly annoying for someone like me who is constantly changing windows.

It's funny that I hear that so much, but it doesn't change the fact that it is sorely broken on Windows.

Yeah, always funny how the operating system most players use is the one that's broken.

The playerlist not sticking to the main window when minimizing/restoring Graal and the text highlighting issue are, in my opinion and from a player's view, the only things that need to be fixed before an actual release. Besides that, v6 is working quite fine.

Uh, yeah? Me along with others who don't want to use v6. I've never been a fan of Graal's inbuilt Windows, so changing the old ones just worsens it. I'm aware you can pick themes but that's just dodging the issue.

Font, playerlist/profile/pm Windows, etc. Windows open in awkward places, not sure how to describe it.

You do realize this won't change, right?

Ah yes, I had that problem on windows too. On another note, Graal does a few awesome things on Mac OS, it's pretty nice.

That's more of a personal preference than a problem. I doubt that it will be changed.

Highlighting is broken, yes, not on Mac though. Not sure why, but that would be why I forgot about it. Uhm, as for the playerlist, I haven't ever experienced that issue, I always have my playerlist and Graal window in the same spot (probably why).

It's the change from v5 to v6 that the majority of players complain about, so it should be significant enough to be looked into.
