Known issues in 6.0

Our experience with CIS 6.0 is still limited, and we may not yet fully understand all the issues which have been reported. Therefore please don’t worry too much about posting already known issues. Just do a search of Format Verified Issues and if someone has already posted exactly the same bug please add a note plus any additional information or ideas you can provide to the topic. If you are not absolutely sure it’s the same bug please post a new bug report.

A full list will be created when the autoupdate release is issued, till then I’ll progressively add the issues that are being most widely experienced
