-Caps Lock will turn itself on sometimes at login, but the "Caps Lock" light on the keyboard will not indicate it. If the button is pushed twice, it will operate as normal.
-Folders may not show updated files when their content is changed until after a restart.
agreed, as are some of the other bugs I mentioned. out of all of these, the only one I can recreate regularly is the "Preview" bug, and the "finder crashes.." bug. Many of these other bugs just come out of nowhere and there may be so many specific factors involved that they are difficult to troubleshoot..
Like the "Finder windows won't update" bug appeared when I was scanning some documents into Photoshop and then saving them into my [user]>Pictures folder. I would save them with Photoshop, but the files weren't where I saved them. I did a "search" for them and the "search results" window displayed the files, and it said they were where they were supposed to be. I had to drag the files out of the "search results" window onto the desktop, and back into my home folder for them to show up!
I've noticed that the keyboad doesn't light up and the screen doesn't dim after putting the laptop (a new 15") to sleep. I have to log in and log back out for the backlighting effect to become opperable again.
...As you go, your text insertion point curseor (the blinking line) gets farther and farther ahead of where the text actually is. This makes it *REALLY* hard to select and edit text.
This sounds almost exactly the same as a Bug that used to appear in Mozilla and Netscape. I think it still does, to some degree, on the Camino build I've got. Very annoying.
****ing dipshit pirates. What part of "it's not out yet and if you're not a developer, you don't get to ask technical support questions about it" do you not understand.
Anyone downloading this and putting this on their machine - unless they're cautious and fairly savvy about the OS and Macs in general - is an absolute pinhead.
Can't you wait 10 more days?
(the above is to anyone a) unclear on Brad's rule b) installs a shitty pre-release version of Panther on their Cube or Strawberry iMac and all hell breaks loose and they want to whine here about it c) anyone else I deem worthy of dipshit status as the day goes on.
i've found some strange things in mac os x 10.3 (7b85):
- itunes doesn't support fast user switching. if you switch to another user the sound continues playing. if you you try to launch itunes from the user you switched to it says that you can't launch itunes because another user already launched it! that's crazy stuff! maybe this is the reason they will soon release itunes 5.
- mac help crashes if you resize the column width in the search results window. this is not always reproduceable...sometimes you have first to select a search result.
- if you play a movie in column view in the finder and you try to resize the window the movie sometimes moves to strange places.
- if you play a movie in column view in the finder you can't grab the horizontal scrollbar. you can only scroll the content with the widgets.
- exposé screws up slider windows if you launch expose exactly at the moment when the slider window is supposed to slide out of its parent window.
- if you launch a program and while it is opening (hopping in the dock) you launch exposé the new window won't be included in the exposé fuctionality. you can't select the newly opened window and the names of the moused over exposé windows will overlay your new opened window.
- if you don't set a screensaver but you say that you require a password after sleep, panther just puts in a black sceensaver with a password prompt instead of going directly to the login window. you always have to select 'switch user'. it would be more logic to show the login window after sleep because if i select switch user from the password prompt it will 'turn' me to the login window and if i chose there to login to my account it 'turns' me back to the black screen with the password prompt and i have to reenter my password. maybe i'm to severe but how it is made for the moment isn't good.
Labels created in OS 9 show up in Panther. I have a folder I labeled YEARS ago before the OS X PB came out and I never changed it. It's just an old folder of research stuff. In Panther, it's label is there. Interesting...
Play any media file in column view with preview ON.
Then try to select multiple icons on the desktop.
The select box will automagically extend from the right edge of the screen to the position of your pointer, and you can't actually select anything. Pretty annoying bug, can reproduce constantly.
Also, constant kernel panics on a new 12" PBG4/1GHz, even after a clean install w/o any additional software/kexts. Don't know if it's a problem with my particular machine.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just reproduced the bug as well. You can still shift-click or command-click to select multiple icons, but you can't band-select. In fact, even just clicking on the desktop while a movie is playing will flash the image of the selection box, anchored at the right edge of the screen. In fact, that happens in Finder windows as well, not just the desktop, but it only happens in icon view, not list or column view.

This usually points to a hardware problem. Check your RAM.
Ya know... besides from a few third party programs crashing every now and then my 7B85 installation (I won't say where I got it from) runs great. Luca:: In the Finder I can band-select just fine....this is if you mean drawing a box around icons to select them... Also sometimes I have kernal panics... but that's because of the programs I have on here.... In fact ever since I installed 7B85 I've been running faster in many senses... I've been hearing rumors that it is and isn't the GM.... GM or not this'll hold me until I get the official copy...
Panther is great. éxpose rox! Like many others have said here... I'm additcted to it! ^_^

Just as F1-F7 I guess: hold down the fn key.
Any differences in ichat recently?
