It does look better, and addresses *some* of the many major problems with
the Media Viewer. But there are still show-stopper problems. Iterating
while badly broken software is still deployed to many millions of readers
is a bad practice, though, so for the moment I'll leave it at that.
Erik, as I have said before -- your request for a bit more time would be
much better received if you would simply revert the change, as per
consensus on 3 major projects, while you work to fix this broken software.
It's a very simple and non-dramatic option you have had available the
entire time.
