I have noticed a very (very) small irregularity in the Panther dock. The little black arrows that indicates that an application is open shifts one pixel to the right when it is fading out while closing an applicaion. In addition, sometimes when I quit applications the leftmost pixel of the black arrow stays there, and does not dissapear (since the "dissapearing" arrow shifted one pixel to the right, and therefore this last leftmost pixel does not get redrawn). If I minimize the dock with apple+option+d and then undo that action, or if I resize the dock, the stuck pixel goes away. At first I thought I had a dead pixel on my display but it turned out to be a graphical error.
It's not a problem really, just an oddity that I noticed, and was wondering if you guys saw it too. I do remember the "shifting arrow" appearing in previous versions of OS X as well, it would be nice to see it fixed in Tiger.

Holy crap. I never noticed this before, but I just tried it, and I do see exactly what you say.

Mine quit WAY too fast to see... I put up a white background and started quitting things, couldn't see it on a single one.

I haven't noticed the shift on quit, but I have seen the leftover pixel on several occasions, even prior to Panther.

Yes, this bug is here since 10.0.... I have reported the problem to Apple many times, but they don't seem very interested in fixing it...

I have also noticed the pixel shift when you quit an application.

Probably because the Dock hasn't changed much since 10.0.  (although it did change a little...I'm surprised it's not fixed yet.)

I sometimes get that left-behind pixel when I quit Illustrator. It only seems to happen with that program, and only 50% of the time. I noticed it just the other day. Weird!

I've never seen any of these issues... and still have yet to recreate this one pixel shift. You people are obviously making this up. Quit lying.
Very strange. My system is hardly a speed demon... Pretty much stock Sawtooth 400 +HD and +RAM. Maybe faster machines are over-thinking this whole dock thing

Yeah, I get this too. Resize the dock and it goes away

Don't see it here either.
This is really, really nit-picking. BFD.

It's nit-picking because you can't see it?

Well, I for one like a tidy dock, and leftover pixels lying about simply won't do.

what are the commonalities in people that can see it? do people who see it all have laptops/nvidia graphics/dualies/lots of RAM/just a little RAM/same resolution?
does it always happen? Is it only with some applications?
I've got good eyes, and I put my monitor in 800x600, and still could not see anything. I tried repeatedly (a dozen or so times with 800x600, probably 50 times in 1280x1024). Also, how are you quitting? I've tried cmd-q from within the application, cmd-tab to app then cmd-q, and quit from the file menu. I have yet to see it under any condition. Tried it with Adium, Terminal, and SubEthaEdit. Tried once with several other applications, don't remember what they were (whatever I had open... AppleWorks, Mail, Transmit, possibly Photoshop)
Sawtooth G4
400MHz
960MB PC100
10.3.5
All security updates (minus most recent)
Shapeshifter, no other haxies
transparent dock icons for hidden apps turned on with Cocktail (I think)
and to whomever said it was a BFD... it is. if you notice something that shouldn't happen, it's very easy to fixate on it... especially in such a GUI-happy environment. Everything is clean and shiny and candy-coated. Things shouldn't shift for no reason, and things shouldn't leave artifacts.
If it doesn't bother you, that doesn't mean it SHOULDN'T bother other people.
