Hi folks
I recently noticed that this problem wasn't fixed on my 10.3.3. It was first seen in 10.3

Sometimes after opening many documents or apps, I have the habit of clearing the Recent Items list. Then I'll notice that the Recent Items list have some icons of some documents wrongly shown.

For example, a Word document would have the icon of the document of another app.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I've tried force pre-binding, clearing caches (using Cocktail), repairing permissions and blah blah, but it won't go away.

Any clue?

Thanks,
Andre

This is a known bug, as you said, since 10.3. Usually, Force Quit the Finder should be enough to fix it (temporarily). You may want to delete the cache file with terminal :

sudo rm -f /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.*
killall Finder

But it doesn't fix the thing permanently does it?
