surely it can't be that hard to give users that option.

I think the 1/2 star you are seeing is a long-standing bug in v11 where text
underneath the stars is visible.

Ain't that fixed?

I think he's thinking of AutoRatings, which are more granular than personal
ratings.

It's fixed on some screens but not all. I've commented as such in Vista bug
reports on either build 5600 or the previous available build. Either way,
the text is still visible in some screens on RC1.

What's the Connect ID?

Don't know. It's been at least 2 weeks since I've been able to get into
Connect bug reports. Can't file new bugs there or check on old ones. It
would be nice to have a bug reporting system that was more reliable than the
product we're formally testing...

Finally got back into see my bugs for a few minutes before Connect started
acting up again. I noted a reference under the main bug at 61324, and also
see that quite a few of my other Windowsmedia bugs are still marked Active
after months ( e.g. I can see three from 25/3/2006, two from 26/2/2006 and a
bunch from April marked thus).

I believe I've noted the star rating issue on another bug, but didn't have
time to read through more than a handful before Connect died on me.

Bugs against Vista and discussion should be in the Vista newsgroups - I
don't think anyone is going to hammer on that, but ... NDA and alla that.

I couldn't repro this on XP or Vista with any level of crazed scrolling.  I
used Songs:Details view (most UI elements per screen) in the player full
screen and Recently Added:Expanded Tile.

Do you actually see this on XP?

I'm no longer testing XP - my hardware budget fell against that of MS :-)
