Bug #92398324727987432

When Finder is in browser mode and navigation toolbar is in text mode, there is only the possibility to browser back, but not forward.

When in the toolbar displays icons and text or icons only, one can browser both back and forward.

&$%#$%# Finder.

If any of your log files, or asl.db, get too large, syslogd will spike your processor usage to 100% for a few seconds every minute or so.

I had to do this in Tiger as well, just not every restart like I have to in Leopard. Usually opening the Date and Time preference pane fixes the issue, but still annoying.

More Finder Bugs.. or whatever. And this was after I was messing around with Leopards internals and did a clean install.



I was thinking OH NOS.. BM IS BACK!

And no, that isn't a compressed JPEG. That is how it looked on my screen.

During the same time, all menus and menu items did this.



Rebooting fixed it.

I have problems sometimes ejecting disk images too.

*sigh*

BTW never touched this application till after it was installed, and got this error.



Even after 10.5.1 it still feels like a beta OS.

You seem to be very unique in having these problems... did you do something to anger the Apple Gods?

My Leopard is running pretty dang smoothly. The only problem I had was with Airport. A reboot fixed it.

Naw, I am just pretty good at finding problems.

I've done the beta testing thing many times. That was on a fresh install too. Restarting fixed it. And I haven't gotten it to happen again.

But it is a weird glitch. The not being able to unmount images thing though, I am not alone on. I've read others with the same problem.

BTW My dock will also not keep the magnification preferences that I set. It always goes back to some pref that I guess Apple has thinks I want it...

I created a script in Applescript to fix this at startup... but that is def something I shouldn't be having to do.

That brushed metal window was frightening. I thought maybe it might have shoved you into a lower colour setting but Thousands still shows the GUI correctly on my display, which is a step up from Tiger where it blurred/grained it a lot.

I'm not seeing any of the bugs Kevin is.

I don't **** around with my system, though.

At all.

Here's an interesting one. I lock my Mac (with the Keychain menu bar item) and my screen saver starts - all fine. Then I hit shift and the password dialog pops up - still all fine. Then I hit cancel. The MBP goes directly to sleep rather than going back to screen saver. I've been able to reproduce it every single time. Has anybody else experienced this?

This was after a clean install. Wiped the drive, zeroed it. Clean install. Didn't even mess with swapping preferences either.

Either did I when it happened. This happened AFTER I was messing with Leopard.

But the fact that you can now totally mess up your system doing stuff you could do in 10.4 kinda ticks me off. It has many other people too.

What if I want to remove some Intel code from Applications to save space? Some applications wont work after doing this. And it has nothing to do with functionality of the application.

So all these recent bugs I've been showing have been happening from a clean install. About the cleanest install you can get.

I have to agree with Kevin. Leopard feels like a beta. Disk images refuse to mount, applications refuse to quit or they quit but stay open in the Dock.

Safari is dog-slow. I booted in 10.4.10 and Safari 2.x was super-speedy compared to Leopard's Safari. I can't figure out the cause. I deleted all Safari preferences and icon files; I removed all internet plug-ins. But it still beach-balls frequently.

Quicktime is sluggish when playing both AVIs and MPGs (on a 2.4 Ghz MBP). Again, this is compared to Tiger.

Not seeing either; I almost suspect they're related.

Throw out your video codecs and re-install Flip4Mac and perian.

I've had both those things happen. Plus sometimes disks wont eject either. Even when nothing in them is in use. I have to go in and force quit the disk mounting shenanigans to get them to dismount or restart.

Not for me. Safari is fast.

Not sure about this one. Haven't noticed a difference. Then again I use VLC a lot.

• In List view, when naming a nested file - i.e. a file within a folder, exposed via the folder's triangular tab, the keyboard's navigation keys only allow you to move the cursor to the right - use the left cursor and the directory view collapses (i.e. navigation takes priority over cursor position.) even when the text is selected for editing. Annoying.

• The new paper-blue folders constitute a bug in my book. In the Finder, under the Go menu, small (thankfully meaninful and distinguishable) icons are listed next to Computer, Home, Desktop, etc. These have virtually no visual link to the new indecipherable Leopard folders.

• The changing appearance of folders in the Dock is also a bug in that it severely hampers visual recognition and workflow. I'm considering going back to Tiger because of this and the previous 'bug' alone.

• Hierarchical menus in the Dock no longer work - this is a serious 'bug' and a major impairment to workflow. Yes, I know it's intentional, but that doesn't mean it's not a bug!

So far not one initial Mac OS X release has been picture perfect. That said Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard isn't nearly as bad as Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger was at this stage.
