Yes, this is a known bug in M14, I see it as well. A recent nightly should be
better. Note: The nightly builds of 25, 26 and 27 March are busted. Builds
before that are fine (apart from the non-blocking development bugs), and
builds after today _should_ work again as well.

Also, if you check out ZopeStudio, you will notice that Folders like
/Control_Panel and /acl_users refuse to show their contents. These Folders
need more than Anonymous credentials to list their contents, and currently
authentication of any URL that is accessed via Javascript is broken, this is
bugzilla bug #33206.

For Mozilla bugs that affect ZopeStudio, see:
