I just installed the latest OSX Leopard patch, and now have an odd bug. Oftentimes when I right click on a dock item, the menu opens, but I can't click on any items. The menu remains open, and the only way to get rid of it is to click on the finder menu bar, which removes the focus from it - any ideas on what this is?
I have a 1.67 Powerbook. Thanks.

I had a similar problem on my al pb. I had my pb on a wireless network from school and put it to sleep- then woke it up at home and suddenly I couldn't click on folder icons in the dock. So I tried to click on the finder icon to bring up a finder window and that didnt work either. Nothing was pegging the cpu. I think there is still a bug in the mail/safari/finder network thing. Its almost as if something network related is trying to compete a task it locks the finder....

Hmmm. It does happen after I shut down on one network, and reopen on another. Thanks for the idea.
