I noticed the fixed thumbnails a few weeks ago (ironically, just a day after complaining jealously to the builder in one SG I'm in). It's not 10.6, I've had that for ages--must have been one of the game updates. I don't do enough editing to comment on the stability, though.
Quote of the moment: This, too, shall pass.
Justice superteamers: We have a website now, in case the forums get closed early. If you've ever run with us, come visit us again before the curtain falls. We're running bucket list characters--anything you've always wanted to play but never got around to.
The base editor fix was one or two patches ago, snuck in silently by the devs.

I haven't crashed in a week. Interestingly enough, I stopped crashing about the same time my Boot Camp partition decided that "The Device Driver has Timed Out and Has Recovered, City of Heroes.exe has been Closed" would be a nice thing to show me every time I launch the game.
So screw you, Windows 7! My mac is running the game wonderfully for the first time in TWO YEARS!

I know this won't concern too many people around here, but heck, good news are so rare on this forum (baring CuppaManga's insane MacFu miracles) , I just had to share.
I don't know if it came with Freedom, or my update to OS 10.6 (not on Lion yet) or just some random and unsung dev's attention to it, but the Base editor seems to be ironed out in the Mac client. No broken thumbnails, no random crashes, no crazy geometry, no memory leak (that I could ascertain). Then again, it could be those just packed up and moved themselves to the Paragon Market for a holiday.
I spent over two and a half hours happily puttering in our SG base in editor mode yesterday, whereas before I couldn't even open the "lightings" tab without saying hello to the Mac desktop. Maybe I got lucky, but if other base builders stop by the Mac forum, I'd like some validation so we can finally claim something Good®™ happened to us.
