SPv3 Resolved Customer-Reported Bugs and Known Issues/Limitations:

• If user wants to display the Web Part in Minimized Chrome State, the page hangs and a script message appears.
• Cannot edit a choice field user profile property: When user edits a person info, the choice field property appears as a simple text line, not a choice field.
• First tab for a user not loaded: When connecting to MOSS User Profiles we show 3 columns as default (general, organisation and about me).
• If the default section "details" is removed from MOSS User Profiles these three tabs are also removed. When these three tabs are not there and you click on a user, the first tab in User Directory is not loaded until you click on the tab.
• When connected to MOSS User directory, adds field info when editing instead of replacing .
For example: I have "Interests" field. It has the value: Music.  I want to change it to football instead so I edit in user directory and replaces music with football. The result when I save is that I get: Music,football in the "Interests" field.  It should only be football.
• Mystery tab in v1.4 when connected to MOSS User Profile store.
• Custom Master Page throws error.
• Can't hide org chart when connected to MOSS User Profiles
• Read only fields not working properly.
• AD Mode - Public View set to No, still visible to public.
• Can't hide org chart when connected to MOSS User Profiles.
• No search message when item is not found.

SPv3 and SPv2: Active Directory comma in name Limitation were fixed -  This is no longer a limitation.
We used to have a limitation when AD "displayName" attribute has special characters such as comma. This limitation was document in our KB.  Release 1.3 of the User Directory fixed this issue so AD  "Full Name" is displayed correctly.  However, the AD displayName, directReports, and manager attributes were not interpreted correctly until this release 1.4.
