Post some Lion bugs that you have encountered!

AlphaDogg said:

Do as the title suggests.

The major one that I have encountered: Audio drivers.

Here is my situation. I boot up my MBP, its great. Then I hook it up to my desk (with 3.5mm audio included). I turn up the volume and I hear some sort of clicking... I can't really explain it. I unplug the speakers, and the issue persists. The only way to fix it is to reboot. I will take a recording of the audio soon.

Other issue: Sometimes the ambient light sensor doesn't work, and I have to force the keyboard backlight with Lab Tick.

found this on another post "go to Audi MIDI Setup, then change the format to "2-ch 32-bit."

Well I have had a few issues with time machine dropping out on the middle of a back up. Not sure if it was lion related or Macbook related...restarted both and seems fixed for now.

In your utilities folder there is an app call Audio MIDI Setup. Make sure you select your built it output.

iCal won't stop freaking opening.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I've tried restarting and unchecking the "reopen windows" checkbox.

Have you tried force quitting from activity monitor. it could be crashing on close and then trying to recover. force quitting would bypass that.

if it keeps opening there is likely another program opening it.

you could download a program called fseventer and close everything possible (any open programs, even stuff in your menubar) then run fseventer and click the little play button in the top left corner. then try to quit ical and let it reopen. then click the little pause button. take a screenshot(command+shift+3) and post it here.

also, did you install over SL or do a fresh install to another partition?

I've tried force quitting, but it doesn't work.

I'll download fseventer and let you know the results.

This was a install over SL.

Here's the relevant calendar stuff. A DNLA server running is filling up the rest of the log.

personally finding Lion stable enough for daily use, haven't found any major life threatening bugs (yet) - except Evernote does not work at all, and Twitter is stuck on top of all windows if i tell OSX to re-open it on Login - i think the applications just need save and resume capabilities while i am a little disappointed with the minimal number of 'real' features in the new OS it has polished off and refined many of my most important apps and i hope we still have much more to come! p.s. i want full-screen support for iTunes, come on Stevie don't disappoint!!!

Racer - I actually took the time to create a MacRumors Forums account so that I could login and thank you for your post. So .. Thanks.

Worked like a charm and eliminated the most annoying bug I was dealing with - thanks again!

Dictionary isn't showing up when highlighting a word unless you upgraded an install that already had inline dictionary enabled. That preference now seems to have disappeared from the Dictionary app?

The three most annoying ones:

• Wi-Fi gets randomly turned off on startup and needs a reboot to get fixed.
• iTunes and iChat don't play well with spaces and they sometimes disappear... only way to bring them back is to quit.
• Safari randomly won't let me enter text on boxes, copy paste on Google docs... hangs up a lot

I found a pretty gnarly bug, but one that I thought was a bit obvious to test out.

Open Safari and enter full screen mode. Then, open multiple tabs. Drag one of those tabs out to become a new window. Mission control will then attempt to create a new space for this separate window but messes up pretty badly. A new space is created which shows only the grey background of mission control with no content or windows. After running some tests, it turns out both Safari windows are still running in the same fullscreen space, and you can toggle visibility by right clicking the dock icon and choosing which page you want to view. In one test, it shifted all other spaces one space to the left, placing windows inside the space reserved for Dashboard, which was kind of funky. To fix this, just quit Safari.

Also, Safari in general seems to have issues whereby the Finder doesn't make the menubar unhidden when exiting fullscreen mode. To fix this, try entering and exiting fullscreen mode again.

I'm sure both of these will be fixed sometime soon just because they are pretty glaringly apparent. There were some other major Safari bugs, like the "back" button failing to behave properly at times, but this was actually caused due to extensions I had installed. Remember, all extensions out there were written for Snow Leopard, which uses an older version of webkit.

Have you tried shutting down your dlna server? also in fseventer you would be looking for another app(not ical) accessing an ical relevant file if not the app itself. Could you send me a private message with a save from fseventer. also what programs are in your login items menu under users and groups in system preferences?

I to have seen wifi suddenly quit working but I am able to turn airport off and back on and it fixes it.

I have seen the Safari bug as well and it seems like something is stealing focus from safari. Im currently waiting for it to reoccur to try and figure it out.

the 2 most annoying things are when iphoto and transmission crash for no reason. oh well, I know, its a beta.

Please verify something on your bluetooth>mouse...does it show the correct information about the battery charge?...Mine is not on bold and is always on 100% and I'm using the batteries for more than 6 days now...

Gentlemen and Ladies


Please post bugs in the correct place via apples bug reporter if you are developers you should be doing this as a matter of course its BETA after all

Apple do not read these forums so please post bug to apple

That way we will end up with a better OS
