"House of mirrors" bug with Cover Flow

diniscorreia · Sep 14, 2006, 07:10 AM

Hi all,

I'm having the weirdest bug with cover flow: some of the files on my library had already artwork; I also got some artwork with iTunes' new feature.

iTunes didn't found artwork for all my albums - something I was expecting. However, in cover flow view, the albums without artwork do not show a black cover, but a live 'house of mirror' effect of iTunes window!!

It's hard do explain and I'll post a picture when I get home - but it looks like an infinite look on images inseide images.

Anyone experiencing this?
Thanks,

suggestions, anyone?

I have to say, that's the coolest looking bug ever. I'd probably wait it out till 7.0.1 arrives.

by the way, how should the albums with no art work show?

by the way, I'm running it on and iBook G3 600.

Yeah, my iMac G3/350 can even handle it well.

Hi , I'm having the same problem with upgraded pismo g4 550 os 10.4.11.
The strange fact is that once I download for the first time in cover flow one image than is showed normally but then when I restart itunes...mirrors and mirrors of itunes windows !
I've downgrading and tryed out all versions of itunes 7, actually 7.5.
No news about this strange bug ?

Thanks
