Troubles with web forms in 2.9B

[stevo]

Hi,
after a few days of working with the latest Beta I must admit that this is another great piece of software.

However, there are some issues when using the new ecm forms feature. When you create a new form using a xsd containing complexTypes the form generator does not display the form correctly. The schema I have used contains a record in the first hierarchy and possibly several sub information in a lower level of the hierarchy.
When the form is generated everything looks fine, but if you try to hit the green plus and add another element, Alfresco shows a red loading bar in the upper right corner and stalls (for hours).

The xsd I am using looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
   <xs:simpleType name="staticInfo">
      <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
         <xs:enumeration value="one"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="two"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="three"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="four"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="five"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="six"/>
      </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>
   <xs:element name="Record" id="Record">
      <xs:complexType id="inRecord">
         <xs:sequence id="inRecordSeqeunce" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1">
            <xs:element name="proInfo"  minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" id="proInfo">
               <xs:complexType id="otherInfo">
                  <xs:attribute name="title" type="xs:string"/>
                  <xs:attribute name="length" type="xs:integer"/>
               </xs:complexType>
            </xs:element>
         </xs:sequence>
         <xs:attribute name="description" type="xs:string"/>
         <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
         <xs:attribute name="staticInfo" type="xs:string" default="one"/>
         <xs:attribute name="year" type="xs:gYear"/>
      </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
</xs:schema>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Any hint what went wrong?

We have also experienced this bug on Mac OS X running Firefox 3
Safari works!

We downloaded 2.9B this week as we were advised that it would resolve a bug that was fixed in 2.1E but not in 2.1 community.

It did resolve the earlier bug but now we strike this bug -  which has been around for a while.

Is there a stable, maintained version of community available? 

2.1 community has a bug that was only fixed in the enterprise version.  2.9B has a bug that has also not been fixed.

I am starting think that finding a stable community version of alfresco is unlikely - and that all this time I have invested in alfresco is a big mistake.

Can anybody offer any suggestions?

Alfresco would feel much more open source, if it published patches for issues registered in JIRA as soon as they are solved, and made them available by general public. Then Community version users could apply these patches instead of upgrading the whole version and get other problems instead. That would help adoption of Alfresco.
