3911 - Fixed issue with webcam image capture causing Auction Flex to crash on some computers

1022 - Occasionally customers type invalid characters into their lot descriptions (this can happen if you accidentally hold down Alt instead of Ctrl when typing). These invalid characters, in turn, can prevent the auction from uploading. We are now discarding these invalid characters on upload so these will no longer cause upload problems.

So, if you were typing in bidder #456 to checkout, when you typed the first digit (4) the system would check-in permanent bidder #4. Then when you typed the second digit (5) the system would check-in permanent bidder #45. This behavior has been fixed so that only bidder #456 will be automatically checked in (if need be).
