I prefer to run lite in Chrome as well, but the space bar issue limits me to searching for artists with only one word in the name, because I'm too lazy to type elsewhere, copy, paste. Anyway, we <i>might</i> be able to get the fix out today, most of our new code is stable and we can easily roll back the portions that aren't ready yet. I'll post here as soon as we push it live.

Basically, we have some javascript on the page that is supposed to eat spaces and tabs when flash <i>doesn't</i> have focus, which is a fix for another browser bug. Somehow Chrome is giving keyboard focus to both the page/javascript and the swf at the same time (or, actually, running it all through javascript first), which causes the javascript to always eat spaces and tabs. The fix is to just detect the Chrome user agent string and disable the javascript when it is detected. Unfortunately that fix hasn't made it up yet because we are working on the other big changes as well, but it <i>should</i> be fixed within a few days.
