Wow... very impressed by the recent 185 devel-proposed build... getting 
very slick. I particularly like the 'Manage Dash' swipe up action - 
smooth. I hope there's some implementation coming where we can customise 
our 'favourite' scopes on the home screens.

Anyway, on to bugs. On the latest image:

 * Issue with the keyboard deleting text across multiple apps. This is
   a long standing bug. Problem seems to be with blank space. I.e.,
   backspace on virtual keyboard works fine with letter & numbers,
   however if it is deleting a blank space it has issues. Have noticed
   text from the lines below getting deleted - very frustrating. I've
   noticed this in various apps - Project Dashboard, Quick Memo, the
   default Notes app. Seems to be a bug in the keyboard code. Extremely
   irritating!
 * The dialer works fine when first opened, but after switching to
   other apps it intermittently hides the 'Settings' and 'Contact'
   buttons on the top right hand side.
 * When sharing a picture with Facebook, my comments are cut short.
   Works, but looks odd.
 * Replying to text messages through the incoming indicator is buggy -
   long messages don't seem to send.
 * Haven't been able to connect via usb tethering - running 'adb shell
   android-gadget-service enable rndis' makes the indicator icon change
   on my laptop, but it times out after about a minute. Am running
   Ubuntu 14.04 - no dice.

Apart form that, very slick! Looking forward to seeing the next few builds.
