BUT..
I show items in AH, that I don't see while dressing, or in my inventory box, or decorating, and vice versa. I also notice, that if I have more than 1 item, it doesn't show that in the AH.
I am concern of losing items, especially valuable ones, that if I lose, I can never get back.

Yesterday, 1/7/24, my inventory acted strangely and avi editor became impossible to use.
Good things
The avi editor came up immediately instead of having to bring it up once before being able to use it. In the regular inventory, the "Available" comes up right away, with the newest first - that seems OK. My trading and gifting came up fast and I didn't get stuck in trade, like I usually do. Yay, that was embarrassing.
Inconvenient Things
Avi editor: if I scrolled down it would pop back up to the top, like someone else was running it. I can't search my outfits at all, it just sits there so I couldn't enter any pageants. I'll stay in the test for now, just let us know next time to expect it.
Inventory: When I searched for a group of items, like "EMC2019", they would come up like normal, but when I sold or removed any of them the search would disappear and I would have to re-type the search even though it was still there in the box. Annoying, but not a deal breaker.
Am I a beta tester? No one else that I talked to has this issue. I volunteered a few weeks ago but I was never told me that I got in, I thought I was too late. Boy, am I sorry now! You could have at least warned me.

This is the number one issue I have with this testing, there is no communication. There must be a back and forth between testers and the designers or there is no test, it's just torture. The communication can't be done in a public forum, either. We need feedback both ways.
My husband and most of my friends are not having problems, so I know it's only me and one other person that I know. She wasn't contacted, either.
Even though I love the way the Inventory and the Edit Avatar come up almost immediately, I'm already tired of the inconvenience and annoyance of the many bugs, some if which are:
When I win a prize, buy something from the auction house, purchase a promotion or get a gift, the item doesn't come up in the inventory until I refresh.
If I've added a lot of new hairs, the hair tab only shows the hair I'm wearing and if I look at another tab and go back, it shows the other tab's content instead of hairs.
I can't search my saved outfits, so entering a pageant is impossible.
The editor jumps back to the top when doing the outfit gem challenge.
Gem Challenge crashes more often.
This is not ready for the players to test, I would suggest going back to the drawing board.

SO many good points here. I am having various issues including the ones you mentioned. It's making it really hard to play.
And especially on point with the communication! This method of testing is problematic. I did testing for the user interface way back and no one could sign up. They hand picked us and we had daily assignments to do and report on our experience. It was top secret, there was a secret forum section for the testers to report our findings, and we were instructed to not tell anyone outside the testing group what they/we were doing. AND best of all, it was only in testing mode from the test links they gave us that we were trying things out. Normal game play was just fine. It was a much better method and we communicated with the Vikings. Of course, there were a few who couldn't keep quiet and told non-testers everything and that got ugly fast. Maybe that's why they decided to try it this way this time, but they should at least be communicating and if someone wants to opt out, they should be able to!

I'm already tired of the disappearing items and the difficult or impossible searching and new items not appearing. If I had a feeing that things were being worked on, I would hang in there, but without any communication, it's impossible.
Thanks.
