I really hope that gets changed at some point.

Well Notch is most likely using the exact same coding for normal doors (aka being lazy and taking th easy route) and just rotating them. It would be nice to see him fix it so they could be used for that, although I know that those doors would be usfull for things like roof access and even for glass buildings.

Something tells me Notch is actually working on the Aether now. Hopefully that's actually the case.

I really hope this is just a test so he can incorporate the mod-made Aether. On the Minecraft forums, there is an Aether mod that looks fantastic, although somewhat un-Minecraft-ey.

In the long run, I hope some feeling is put into the Aether, and its not just floating islands. There needs to be something unique.

Wild growing grass just popping out of the dirt?

Oh no! I really don't like how it looks and if he choose to add it, I hope he makes us able to choose if we want it or not.

It most likely will be, but yay Notch! More mods integrated into the game! :D Wildgrass is one of the best-looking mods there is, IMO. I'm just not a fan of the default wildgrass or the fact that it's EVERYWHERE, so I hope he makes it so that it's only in a few biomes like it appears to be there.

I think he means what it's supposed to do. In which case, Shift+click an item in your inventory while a chest is open = move whole stack to chest. So really your problem can be solved simply by not being lazy and clicking twice.

The thing is that it worked before the update and I wanted to know if it was my compter only or a problem with Minecraft.

No, that's an update-related problem. Haven't encountered it myself (as I haven't messed with any full chests recently), but I saw it mentioned on the Minecraft forums.

1.6.6:

+ Added a new use for bonemeal
* Changed the material of glowstone from “glass” to “stone”. This means you need a pickaxe to get resources from it
* Made glowstone drop more loot
* Made the recipe sizes for creating cloth blocks and glowstone blocks smaller (2x2 instead of 3x3)
* Re-introduced unlimited FPS, renamed the option again
* Fixed beds not working very well at all in SMP
* Fixed destroying a boat spawning the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground
* Boats float up to the surface quicker
* Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum very fast
* Removed Herobrine
Heheh
