As is expected with pre-release software, there are bound to be some errors and other issues.

The known issue list is as follows:

Ati Radeon HD problems with Inverted Radial Tree layout

Some newer ATI Radeon HD cards exhibit problems when choosing the "Inverted Radial Tree" layout. The problem causes spurious textures to be drawn, and may cause the GLOW user interface to "freeze" for seconds.

Workaround: Do not use the Inverted Radial Tree layout. Select another layout using the "layout" drop-down at the bottom of the plug-in. It may take some time for the interface to become responsive.

Duplicated leaf nodes

There is a known issue with spurious duplication of leaf nodes. Under a certain parent, a leaf node might appear multiple times.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Modifier buttons cause spurious panning

Laptops may not have a middle/right mouse button which are used to perform zooming and rotation of the graph. OPTION and COMMAND are modifiers that can be combined with a left-click to do zooming and rotation, but while this functions, the graph pans simultaneously.

Workaround: Connect a mouse, or pan the graph back to its oroginal location using only the left mouse button, after it has been incorrectly moved.
