I told you, it happend twice, that it switched my category view!! and I did not touch the component, so of course there is a reason, but I assume the reason is a bug.

and as far as the upgrade issues go: obviously the automatic upgrade does not work under certain server environments, in the control panel I see the error message "It was not possible to retrieve latest version information. The upgrade server may be temporarily down. Please, try again later." and "ERROR LOADING FEED DATA"
and in the upgrade tab I see "It was not possible to retrieve latest version information. The upgrade server may be temporarily down. Please, try again later." and "It was not possible to check your registration information. The upgrade server may be temporarily down. Please, try again later."

A little too much error messages considering that I paid for this version...
