Hey all,
I got a number of updates here; This is a great feedback, this is an update we can do pretty quickly... Unlike a client update which is required to fix the animated banner problem.
Regarding the animated banner bug; We though we fixed the root of the issue in 10.1.1 when we last released a client patch. We saw the crash telemetry and social media report die down, so we though we were in the clear. Unfortunately, we didn't fix it completely.
We apologize this took so long, this bug along with a variety of other reasons took us a long time to identify the actual root cause. We had to go pretty deep into the code to generate a full 100% reproduction of the issue.
However, I have good news. We ARE confident that we have a fix for 10.1.2, which is currently in testing, and SHOULD be releasing sometime next week.
