Current version is 12.3, with 13.1 out soon.<br>
I'm pretty sure the update channel for 11.4 has been closed for quite a while.<br>
I've been using opensuse as my daily driver for over 10 years, and I haven't seen the problem you describe.<br>

Those bugs were fixed in May of 2011.<br>
Are people really running unpatched the last 2 years?<br>
<br>
THAT cannot be the issue here.<br>
<br>
I worry about being 3 months behind patching on a single system!<br>
<br>
Sorta related, I switched to using powershell as my default shell on Windows -<br>
got tired of the crap interface from cmd.exe. In the 90s, I used 4Dos and 4NT to<br>
work around <a href="http://command.com" target="_blank">command.com</a> and cmd.exe suckage. With powershell, I almost don't<br>
mind ... except for all the things MS implemented in Explorer that appear to be<br>
part of the file system, but are not. Backwards compatibility is a bitch.<br>
