New User Issue
When creating a new user (Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Add a New User), by default, the User Role is 'User', and the "account is active" and "send a password reset e-mail" check boxes are checked. However, even after the user activates their account by e-mail confirmation, the Admin sees an unchecked 'account active' box for the new user, and the user thus is not available for selection in task drop-downs. The Admin must then check the user as active, and the functionality works as intended.
This problem occurs whether the admin is continually logged in, or whether the admin logs out, the user activates the account/resets password, and the admin then logs back in.

Thank you Brandon for finding this bug. This stems from when we added a new user status of "new user". When adding this, other sections of the program saw this as a non-active user status giving you the results you found. We have fixed this in our development environment and hope to push the updates (Beta 0.509) to the live site early this week.
Thanks again for all our help.
