From MultiBit version 0.4.23 your change is now sent to the SECOND private key in the wallet - if it exists - rather than the first.
This means that if you create a new wallet and import some keys from 'somewhere', the change will be sent to one of the addresses you just imported.
Also note that if you use the MultiBit "File | Delete Wallet" option it is a secure delete. It overwrites both the wallet and the rolling backup wallet with nonsense data before deleting the file. This is to prevent attackers recovering your wallets at a later date from your disk. By the sounds of it you fortunately did an operating system delete so could recover it.

multibit tried to screw me over one time... it randomally sweeped 7btc from one of my blockchain addresses i imported into the local address it created. i didnt realize this until after i deleted the wallet file.
Thankfully Iwas able to recover the file and get my coins back.. this was only a month ago to.. so the thought of losing $350 was a scary one.

Ive had coins stuck in limbo for the last 2 hours, still have only been seen by 1 peer, which i assume is myself and hasnt touched the chain yet.Ive had held up for like a half hour before, but those had at least hit the chain and waited for confirmations. Anyone having a similar problem?
edit: sigh.....of course it hits the chain as soon as i hit send, i should have bitched earlier.
