Interestingly the first thing I did was re-order the tabs. Now I went back to check and I can't re-order them. Maybe that info helps the Hipchat devs out - I just trashed prefs and then you can re-order one tab. Then it stops allowing you to do this.

I had the same experience.

Those aren't bugs.

The tab thing is a bug, but it's unclear from jedberg's wording. The actual problem is that you can reorder the tabs, but only once, after which reordering stops working.

I don't do those things at all. I'm surprised you consider those critical bugs.

One day we will be big enough to need the ability to search for a person! :)

I agree on reordering tabs though - you can re-order one tab and then it locks down.

Command+N works to search for people everywhere (when it does work, the app does freak out occasionally).
