Bug with DAE assets on Linux

Question

Hey, am I the only one using linux 😛

1: I think there might be a bug with the collada parser/reader, because all my collada files are not shown. Attached on this post is an example collada file that fails to load (preview not working either). The log window shows no information about this. For example, the scene "Philadelphia.02.as-built.cej", from the example project "Example_Philadelphia__2011_2" shows only a bunch of "Unknown Asset" cubes instead of the actual buildings.

(and BTW: )
2: the right mouse button still exists. right click on the viewport, and I am unable to rotate or pan anymore.

I am using "Esri CityEngine 2012.1 build 120913 (release, linux-64bit)", on a Gentoo system with Gnome 2.32.1. These bugs are not present on the Windows version.

Can you fix these for the next version please 😛
