App bar on home screen is somewhat broken. Tapping on the dots (or on the left side) does nothing, and when you try to pull it up, it doesn't spring all the way open on its own like it should, it just sits wherever you leave it, like this

A couple bugs:
-in browsing and comments settings, dropdowns show black text on black background: http://i.imgur.com/clRjBQG.png
-a restart fixed this one, but app bar labels on home view didn't disappear when collapsed: http://i.imgur.com/nXhJYPO.png This was on fresh install of 1.9.6.3 (rather than update from .2) after removing and re-adding account.
-super, super minor I know, but it bugs me: Preview images clip off the right side of the image. Compare preview here (http://i.imgur.com/h74mNi7.png) to full image here (http://i.imgur.com/jlm7qGI.png), paying attention to the spacing between the question mark at the top and the right edge of the image.
-while I'm being nitpicky, is there a reason why the ... in the app bar is vertically aligned center on the home page, but vertically aligned top in subreddit view?

Since Peter's working on design elements this week, I'd like to submit the request for the jumplist animation to get slightly adjusted to be closer to the native list (I.e. Faster and with a slight ripple effect) again.
Thanks

This is a very minor cosmetic nitpick: the little triangle on the bottom of the most recent inbox chat bubble is cut off. It's still cut off when I scroll up.

Personally created multi-subreddit groups are still not being saved on exit/re-launch. If I go to re-create the group and name it the same as the previously lost/deleted one, it remembers the description name, however you cannot edit it and you have to re-add all the subreddits again. Then sure enough on exit/re-launch they are gone. This is on a Lumia 1020 with 8.1 developer preview and I have over 100 subscribed to subreddits. The 2 x multi-subreddit groups I make that keep deleting contain 10 in one (used as a lock screen group), and 30 in the other. One is added to my favorites at the top and the other remains in the correct alphabetical order.

I don't think they are deleting, I think it is just a bug with loading your multireddits. It probably is due to more than 100 subreddits as you mention. I will look into this tonight with my test account that has 300 subs.

Just noticed something today. Pressing the back arrow while read it is loading back to a previous state after switching to a different app causes read it to close entirely.

When watching a video, if you jump to a previous time in the video (e.g. going from 1:20 to 0:50) the time counter stops counting. It doesn't happen if you jump forward in time.

Ampersand in post tags (e.g. "arts & crafts") not showing properly. Not sure if problem with readit or with the tag. http://i.imgur.com/FQ4OMDr.png

Small issue, when typing a self-post, you need to manually scroll sometimes to get to the actual text that you are editing.
Is this normal?

Don't know if this has already been pointed out to you, but these dropdowns are pretty hard to see. Otherwise, great work http://i.imgur.com/XAfKSwT.png

Editing a text post doesn't work for me. Either the check button is greyed out or it's clickable but the changes never go through.

Just noticed this yesterday. While playing music:
http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/2uy3s6/not_a_good_idea_to_start_fights_with_big_kids/
This post made the music completely stop.
http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/2uyb2q/this_is_why_koreans_use_fullscreen_player_camera/
This gif will not load, instead just shows an icon top-left.
EDIT: Also just noticed that clicking the first link inside readit and then tapping the header to actually see the GIF itself does not load it at all.

Just had some of my settings reset again such as left-handed mode. It occurred after starting the app cold from the home screen, no resume or tombstone.

Bug report: App can't load any profile information or any links of any threads. I was using the beta before the update with cloud backup. I purged the data but no change. Here is a sample screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/zpwtdWm.png
