Well, there was a tint on my display ever since Mac OS 10.4.8. Leopard didn't solve the problem.
Not really. My Mac Mini G4 couldn't keep a wireless connection running with just iChat and Google Notifier running. Every time I wanted to use the machine I'd have to manually connect to the wireless network (which was in the auto-connect list) and if I was lucky it would give me an IP. Otherwise I'd have to reboot the machine and tell the firewall to allow mDNSresponder and configd again before the network connection would come up. Connecting to an AEBS, too, so there's no reason it shouldn't be a supported configuration.
I have no doubt that some AirPort connections are working great, and more power to you. Most of us that are having issues would like a fix sooner rather than later, though.
I would rather see Apple take their time and get this right then rush it out and introduce a new set of issues and be more buggy then it is now. perfection takes time and people need to learn to wait, cause we are all in the same boat.
speaking about boats, pretend this 10.5.2 update is like you taking a boat to have allot of leaks fixed, they do a rush job on it and you take it out and are far away from land before you realize the boat still leaks, wont you be in the same predicament as before you had it fixed. but if you took the boat to a place but this time they took their time and fixed it right and made sure its done right and you will not find any leaks when out in the water far away from land cause they fixed it right. which would you choose ?
i am not saying that the 10.5.2 will be bug free or anything, having them take their time to do it right will be allot better then them rushing it out with more bugs then before and it didn't fix a thing.

What blue tint? give us a screenshot!
If you're getting 'tinting' then maybe you should take it to the local Apple store to get it checked out - you know, as part of you warranty, something you should have done instead of waiting till now (and most likely outside your warranty period).
I'm hoping that it comes out before Tuesday, allowing Tuesday to be soley dedicated to the new MBP revision that was supposed to come out on the 15th
If anyone from the Leopard Dev Team is actually looking at these posts and heeding advice as such...I say get back to work and finish 10.5.2!
The airport disconnection seem related to some specific hardware router chipset. I'm plague with it with my Belkin router. I have no problem at job with Linksys router. Note that I haven't any issue with Tiger or Window XP either.
If they can fix this and the damn stupid keyboard sleep that the first key press in a while don't do anything are making me crazy! I'm beginning to double press the first key on every computer I use even Linnux box that don't need it!

They have been and that has necessitated building a new Apple campus.
With all the profitable tech companies around them I'm sure it is hard to keep good talent.
i thought someone boiled the wifi drop issue down to being set to a channel that was picking up interference from another wireless device or some sort of electronic interference, and changing the channel on the router fixed it
has anyone even tried this with their wifi setup to see if it helped the wifi drop issue. i experienced issues like this and it was fixed by changing the channel on the router (which disables the auto channel select on most routers, which was the issue in the first place with the wifi dropping all of the time). my router is set to channel 7 and i have not seen a single drop since then, it was set to auto.
with the router set to auto channel, when the channel changes it will drop the wifi connection and it will either reconnect or cause a issue where you have to refresh the connection. and can happen if the wifi channel is conflicting with something else you will see a drop in signal strength or it will drop the connection.

Here is an idea
Hey dudes,
relax, I am waiting for this update as much as the next guy, particularly since I'm a composer and video editor, I have been having a lot of issues with leopard, particularly with stupid file permissions that get completely ****ed for no apparent good reason, and a disk utility tool that doesn't work completely.
I also work at an apple store, and have seen a couple of machines (from experienced users) that were totally messed up, in one occasion whenever a folder is created, you are denied access to it (even though you are the same bloody admin user!!)
ok, but all that aside, i agree with those who say that waiting a little patiently will take us a long way to a more stable system. Also, let us not forget, how long did it take microsoft to release sp1 ? now how about sp2???????????? emm, now we see that 2 major updates for leopard within 6 months of release date is not apple taking long time.
Perhaps the latest seed addresses the huge screwup that was caused by quicktime 7.4 which has caused major trouble for professionals who work with audi and/or video. basically, very often your files that you create (audio and/or video) get locked up because quicktime thinks that they are pirate files and should have DRM. so may be (I hope) the last seed is addressing that?????
let's keep our fingers crossed and maintain solidarity rather than yell at each other, it will all be good very very soon.
cheers

This is killing me. My MBP wont wake from sleep, tried everything. WiFi is a joke. It really is.
The superior OS X leopard BUG
while every one on this forum seem to be missing the important bugs like this Finder bug:

I really hope that Apple will fix this. If not - well, then their BETA testers should all be replaced immediately.

I hate the long list of bugs in Leopard as much as the next guy, but I think Apple should take their time and get Leopard rock solid.
Leopard was pretty disgraceful at first--reflective of this horrific new level of quality out of Apple of late--and I don't want to wait until 10.5.5 until it is a reasonable OS.
So, Apple, if you are out there reading this, please take your time and make 10.5.2 the Leopard we should have received in the first place.

is the channel on the router set to auto ?
have you tried to set another channel then what was used to see if it helped or cured it ?
at first for me the default setting (auto) worked great then my wifi became unstable the sometimes would not reconnect. i found out when reading some site that something can be conflicting with the channel used for the wifi and cause the same thing.
