Just did a little retest with RC7:

Worked for me too, I grabbed the constrainer strip, moved it,then undo. Also
tested with other strips.

Probably OpenGL glitch, very short glitch, I also get this with 2.42., so not
release critical in my view.

For me the default setting /tmp/vase/ lead to the directory C:/tmp/vase being
created, so render and
playback went ok. I'd need some mor info to help testing where it might have
gone wrong for you.

For me the robot_ao was a little bit darker in the corners, I've made a
comparison

Without the 'shadow' button it is indeed almost black, the button was on in the
243 testfiles
that I downloaded though.
