Yet another weird problem in R8.0.1 a.k.a. beta 5

Tags: Lotus Notes 8.0.1 Bug

I start the full client (which I closed out of normally previously on this computer), and open my mail and end up with this screen:

A picture named M2

It doesn't matter if I access the local replica or the one on my server.
When opening the blogsphere db that this site's hosted in I end up with this:

A picture named M3

No errors, just a blank page (btw, did you notice the toolbars?)

Sigh... R8 has got great potential but is still WAAAAY too unstable to be inflicted upon normal users.
How about paying as much attention to fixing 'features' as to adding new functionality?

Gravatar Image1 - The screen looked like the one I posted for R8.0.0 back in december 2007:

Gravatar Image2 - Have you tried deleting bookmarks.nsf and cache.ndk?

I have not upgraded but it sounds like this might be the issue?

Gravatar Image3 - This morning after a cold boot of my laptop, the R8 beta 5 client (A.K.A. R8.0.1 Standard) decided to give me the 'open bookmarks as workspace' as startup page instead of my usual (the good old workspace).
Normally his 'open bookmarks as workspace' mode is not available in the standard client, apparently it only does that when you really don't want it to. I've mentioned this one before in beta 4 (R8.0.0)
Unfortunately I forgot to take a screenshot.

Even more fun, I shut down the client, start it again and guess what?
It shows the empty background then instead of giving me the 'prompt for location' diaglog it dies without warning/error message.

Give me an update NOW! Please? Pretty Please?

As it stands now, based on my personal experience on both my work and personal laptop I will definately not recommend the standard client to any of my customers.
