is this happening to anyone else. i've tried rebooting and the problem persists. check the screen shot. if you look under the apps the text is not aligned. i noticed that this was happening even before i installed shapeshifter. i thought it might have been the theme but it was happening with aqua as well.

Totally agree, mine just started about 2-3 weeks ago. Anybody have a fix?

Your fonts don't look right. It could be that you have a corrupted font cache and the metrics are way off... But the mention of shapeshifter makes me suspicious.

Perhaps you used TinkerTool or the like to change your System font size? I remember doing that once about a year ago, and it had a similar effect on the command-Tab appearance.

I have seen this occur when you change the font for the dock.

Glad you got it sorted, but as I was trying my own cmd-tab out, I tried scrolling the page with my mouse's scroll-wheel. Lo and behold, it can be used for shifting between the open applications! Proly find someone else noticed this shortly after 10.3 came out, but I never and thought I'd share just in case you hadn't either.
