Tiger bug list. hopefully could be helpful

[Lt Major Burns]

Bugs i have found:

the dock one (highlighted in anandtech) where if you context menu on a dock icon magnified and then click somewhere else on the desktop, it stays magnified.

messenger seems to have picked up a latancy. not absolutely tiger, but it didn't happen under panther, so i'll leave it here.

please post up any bugs you find, and hopefully, we can hone down a list of the main ones (and the minor niggles) and report them. it'll hopefully speed up the improvemnt in terms of public (beta ) testing

haven't had any problems with Spotlight, one with the Dock where none of the names came above the icons. I just Quit the Dock and relaunched it and it worked fine...

This is not actually a bug, but annoing feature 10.4 introduced: I have a 2-1 USB switch,
that I use to use my keyboard either with PC or Powerbook. When I press the swith
button to use the keyboard on the PC, Tiger shows "Keyboard Setup Assistant" dialog,
since for some reason it knows that there is a keyboard, but it does not know what
(since the keyboard is connected to the PC).

If I close the dialog, it does not show again, but there was no dialog on Panther.

Dashboard updates data only when it's open. You can say it's not a bug but a feature (to save CPU time etc.), but it really causes problems. If you don't open Dashboard for a while (say few hours) and then open it just for a second you'll see old weather data. The new weather information just won't have enough time to load. You'll see the update only in a few hours when you open Dashboard again… when this new data is outdated too

Konfabulator lets its widgets update themselves all the time and thus has no such problem.

One more bug. This time it's a real bug.

The windows in the new style (aluminium or aluminum ) are displayed a bit incorrectly. Below is a screenshot of the Mail.app's title zoomed. The purple arrows point the wrong, darker pixels.



All windows in the old aqua style (e.g. Finder with its toolbar hidden) look OK.

Can someone confirm this is a bug? In Spotlight Preferences one can only exclude ONE external drive from the search (in the Privacy panel).

My cheap USB webcam is no longer recognized. It's an Emprex PC-380. Don't know if this is a bug, but I can't use it anymore. Well, I don't need it that much anyway
