Each update has more problems than solutions

The last few updates have broken things more than fixed them. The last update, 1.11.5, nick complete suffix style was broken. Tab complete works, but Ive gotten so used to inline completion that I keep forgetting I have to tab now. Its an annoying extra move. Also, the "feature" addition of "always bounce in dock" broke events/sounds options; it now ignores entirely what I have there and bounces on *everything* rather than bouncing only on things Ive set it to bounce on (which is nothing, I find that behavior annoying. I have Growl for a reason). Theres no option to turn off "bounce" either, ignoring all my option settings so even if I did want it to bounce on certain things, I have no way of setting that because it just bounces on everything, so now everything is of equal importance apparently.

1.11.6 Broke even more.
Tab switching sometimes doesnt scroll down to the bottom, or scrolls backwards and I have to manually scroll it down.

Sometimes the scroll locks, showing nothing new in channel even though people are typing and even I can type and send to channel, I wont ever see it. The only solution to that is closing the window and reopening it. Which creates an annoyance when its the status window, thus having to quit that server entirely and restart it.

The "interesting" one I found last night was when I have a DCC chat window open to Person X, and that person has another nickname on server (nickname Y) using multiple server logins on their own copy of xchat, when they message me from nickname Y it shows up as from Person X in the dcc window. Im wondering why theyre making the messages complicated and screwing up the logs, but it turns out its not them, its xchat somehow screwing up simple messages!

The most recent one I just found is that channel nick lists apparently no longer update when people leave the channel. My list shows a dozen people in one channel but theres actually no one there because they all left at some point the night before.

Please stop introducing new "features" and fix the existing problems with any new updates. I seriously wish there was a way to rollback versions of app store purchases, because Id be happy going back to 1.5, the version first put on the app store, at this point.
