AutoCAD 2015 - issues

[w64bit]

1. AutoCAD 2015 introduces a New Tab Page.
This page is a html file, called index.html, which is loaded at program startup from the folder:
../AutoCAD 2015/Support/NewTabPage.
But, a great feature comes with a great bug, a drawing switching bug:
How to replicate:
- close all drawings
- Quick Access Toolbar > New drawing
=> you can switch between the new drawing and New Tab Page using Ctrl+Tab
Please fix this and allow us to turn ON/OFF this New Tab Page.
This can be made by adding a registry setting, like it is InfoCenterOn.
Could be called NewTabPageOn.

2. On the statusbar the text on some menus have ClearType (font rendering) always ON:
- Isolate Objects
- Workspaces
- Annotation scale
Please fix this in order to respect the OS ClearType setting, like the most of AutoCAD GUI text.

Hi,

For the New Tab Page, you can set the NEWTABMODE variable to 0 or 2 to disable this html page.

Set STARTUP variable to 0 to start without the "New Tab" displaying.

Thank you.

It remains to be corrected:

- the problem of NewTab with Ctrl+Tab swithching;

- the glitch regarding ClearType.
