Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.3 9D23

Just 3 days since the last seed, Apple has released the next build of Mac OS X to developers. Again, no "known issues" are listed in the latest developer build (9D23). Only 8 fixes are listed in the notes provided by Apple.

Typically, Apple has waited several builds before re-seeding new versions to developers. In the past, rapid-fire seeding has meant that they were prepping for the final release. It's unclear if Apple has simply changed its policy and seeding more frequently.

Four of my must fix bugs:

1. Graphics scramble in cover flow view of finder. Has only happened once but it was pretty wild. It was like the finder was eating itself.

2. Waking from sleep mouse stuck. Can't click on anything...or is stuck in the down position dragging a random item that can't be dropped.

3. Waking from sleep password screen won't appear. Sometimes closing the lid putting it back into sleep and reopening fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. Then I lose my work and get ticked off. Now I just try to not close my lid when on AC power so that it doesn't sleep...I keep it cracked just enough. Saving my files before leaving the computer also isn't a bad idea!

4. Programs like Photoshop that only have a title bar and child windows sometimes don't work right in spaces. I have it setup so they stay in a certain space, but sometimes they wander. They also like having everything but the photo window grayed out sometimes, causing me to switch spaces and then switch back to fix. I used to think this was a problem with Adobe software, but recently I used another program with a similar layout--Photomatix or something--and it did the same thing. Annoying!

My only other bug is tapping the caps lock key sometimes doesn't activate it properly, but that's probably not able to be fixed. I have a bad habit of tapping the caps key instead of using shift to capitalize letters, but I never had this problem on my old Inspiron that I ditched a few months ago. Other than that I absolutely love my mac and it would be nearly perfect with those fixes.

I would also like a scheduler to put the mac to sleep and wake it up at certain times on certain days. Right now there are only "weekday / weekend" options. Is there a hidden system setting for that or a third party program available?

Caps lock unactivation by quick-tap is a feature of the latest computers... this way you won't unwillingly activate it, but you have to press it longer to be sure you WANT to activate it.. ;)

bye
