Now and again, when I quit an app, where the arrow was, one pixel stays at the top. Example here (next to X11):

Someone please explain why!??

You're running a theme hack and it hasn't been written properly? :confused:

I never get any extra dots. :(

No, no theme hack, just changed icons.
Oh and it did happen before I changed them as well.

I saw that occasionally under 10.3, but it went away in 10.4. It's just a minor cosmetic bug, and though it'd be nice if those didn't exist, not much you can do about it other than re-launching and re-quitting that app, or restarting the Dock.

However they do go away if you increase the dock size, but was wondering whether I could stop it.

Oh well . . looks like tiger is going to be on the list soon.

Just out of interest, is it related to whether you have the magnification effect turned on?

Wow, I've heard of some crazy excuses for upgrading to Tiger, but that has got to be one of the craziest!

I know, I know... I keep talking myself into and back out of Tiger. So far there's nothing really compelling to get me to upgrade, though. It'll probably be something like those dots that finally makes me do it.

I'm just the same, at one minute I'm clicking on 'Buy Now', the next I'm thinking 'Why? They're only dots.'
