I was plagued by the "missing text bug" starting with 5.8.5.0.2 until it was finally resolved with 5.8.11 over a year later.

Now that I finally have a stable (for me) release, I am wary of any new update and won't do so without a compelling reason.

So far 5.9.x offers nothing I'm interested in, seems to be buggy, plus it can defeat the blocker folder

This is true for me as well.
