Has anyone tried this update with Hero Designer? I installed it on my test Mac (OSX 10.3.5, HD 2.38 preview build) and HD displays better, renders fonts a bit better, and overall seemed to perform faster - with the following exceptions:

1) pop-up dialogs (like error messages and definitions) don't stay up. They dissapear as soon as they are displayed.

2) The pull down menus don't update/redraw until you scroll over them. For instance, the list of recently opened characters does not update unless you move the pointer/highlight over the sub-menu.

Has anyone else seen any issues with it?

That pretty much mirrors my experience. The pop-up issue seems sporadic, mostly when it's telling me that I can't put a list in a list or something. The re-draw is not that big an issue. It renders fine if I choose it a second time. The fonts are cleaner and yes, I agree the whole program seems zippier.
