  (Mac) Render progress (Message 1 to 5 of 5)

When rendering an animation, the "overall total time" gets messed up in
the Render progress window. (for each new frame, the overall total time
restarts at 20-30 seconds).

Minor request: When I choose "Pause rendering..." in the render menu, it
feels strange to choose "Pause rendering..." again to resume it. Is it
possible to change the words in the menu to "Continue rendering"?
Also, when the words end with three dots (like in "Pause rendering...")
I usually expect a dialogue box to appear.

The problem with the disappearing "Windows" menu is still there.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Of course.  This got broken sometime during the development of 3.5...

It is listed in the know bugs section on the beta download page, so why do
you expect it to be fixed? ;-)

Please, please, please read the notes on the download page before
downloading a beta version.  It really helps to avoid numerous reports of
known problems and will give the developers more time to actually fix the
bugs rather than reply to reports of known, confirmed and listed bugs:

Select any answer you want:
A: Your brilliant work have caused me to expect miracles from you.
B: I just wanted to tell everyone that the information in the bugs section is
amazingly correct.
C: Eh.. the joy of getting a new beta made me forget to read the info.
