Repro 1

• Login on http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/simon-ll-viewer-bear/rev/292204/index.html
• Make sure inventory is fully fetched and Recent Items filters are set to default settings.
• Relog after fetching inventory/resetting filters if needed.
• Open Inventory -> Recent Items tab - will be empty on default filter settings.
• Replace Current Outfit with a saved outfit folder so Current Outfit folder then displays in Recent Items. Make sure Current outfit folder is expanded to show contents.
• While focus is on Recent Items tab, create a new notecard.
• Observe new notecard displays in Recent Items tab as expected and Current Outfit folder is still visible and expanded.
• While focus is on Recent Items tab, create a new script.

Observed: As soon as the new script displays in Recent Items tab, the Current outfit folder disappears until you click in the Recent Items somewhere and the Current outfit folder displays again but collapsed instead of expanded.

Expected: Current Outfit folder should remain visible in Recent Items tab.

• Expand all visible folders in Recent Items tab.
• Switch over to Inventory tab, choose a different saved outfit folder, right click it -> Replace outfit.
• Then switch back to Recent Items tab
• Repeat the above 2 steps a few times.

Observed:

• Recent items tab contents keep flashing and the folders keep appearing and disappearing until the new outfit has fully loaded.
• Also observe that sometimes after replacing outfit, the Current outfit folder will totally disappear from Recent Items tab and you have to expand or close another visible folder to get Current Outfit folder to display again.
• Also observe that sometimes the Recent Items tab will completely blank out and show no content.

Expected: Recent Items contents should not flash and folders shouldnt disappear and reappear.

• See the first half of the linked demo video.

Repro 2

• Login and replace current outfit (you dont need to do this if current outfit was changed recently).
• Clear cache and relog
• Open Inventory
• Go To Recent Items tab -> "Show Additional options" (Gear menu) -> Show filters
• Set filters back to a few hours ago, or days ago - enough to make Current outfit folder and some additional items show in Recent tab.
• If Current outfit folder isnt showing because nothing in it has loaded yet, go to Inventory tab and double click on the folder icon for Current outfit to expand it and force it to load.
• Go back to Recent items tab, expand all folders showing in Recent Items and observe how the items are displaying.
• Attempt to left click on some items in Recent tab.

Observed:

• Recent items tab contents will keep flashing and the folders keep appearing and disappearing until inventory has fully fetched.

• When you left click on an item showing in Recent Items, the flickering and folder scrolling will become even worse.

• It is impossible to work within Recent items tab until inventory has fully fetched.

• See the 2nd half of the linked demo video.

Expected: To be able to use Recent Items tab while inventory is loading.

The crazy flashing problem is fixed on Second Life 3.7.13 (292605) Aug 4 2014 04:46:23 (Second Life Test Amazon)

I am still getting the Recent items tab blank out occasionally when a new item is added to Recent but it is happening a lot less on this build.
