I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is annoying. I got angry just reading about it. I'm hoping something cool will come along with one of these point releases. Bug fixes are just so boring.

Really? I am not able to duplicate that on my machine.
BTW who is that in your avatar, Lacero?
Wouldn't it be nice to get a new Finder for the holidays? Something a little more...pleasant to work with?
All I want is a path bar, some major networking changes, you know, a Finder that didn't suck so bad.

I'm hoping for a Safari fix. It gets rather annoying trying to scroll a Web page that hasn't finished downloading.

I thought this was just me! Glad someone else if having this problem.... if that makes sense.
I hope they sort the damn fan issues out with the G5 when the processor setting is on 'Automatic'.
1. Download something.
2. When it's finished, open the Downloads window and click the Reveal in Finder icon (the little magnifying glass).
3. Your Downloads folder will appear. Switch focus to the Downloads window and click the close window button.
4. Focus goes to Safari instead of the Finder window, despite the Finder window being in front of the Safari window.
$&%*!

What's the problem? My spell checker's been fine AFAIK. Perfect chance for a crap spell checker joke avoided. You can thank me latter...
Okay, sorry, couldn't resist. At least it's in white though...

Wouldn't have it any other way.
It was a serious question though. What exactly is wrong with the spell checker?
Ha! Made you highlight!
Some of these bug fixes may be a result of working on Leopard.munkle said:
Anyway, since most (if not all) of the bug fixes apple to Leopard as well as Tiger, isn't it better they get them fixed for current users?
Pay attention:generik said:5 more point releases and we will have the next one.. OSX.5 Jaguar?
1)It's Mac OS X V10.x
2)They are not decimal numbers. There could be a 10.4.10 if Apple wanted to.
3)Jaguar was 10.2.
4)The Next major release of OS X will be Leopard which we think will be 10.5.

Hahah, Bear p0wn'd you!
I hope this release fixes some wacky airport issues I've been having. My connection will drop sometimes and I won't be able to find any signals for about 2 minutes, despite me having access to approximately 10 at any given time. Very odd.
Well, we probably won't see a build of 10.4.4 for another several months anyhow...unless they need to do cleanup on 10.4.3, which is what it sounds like when you go to the OS X forum.
Speaking of Safari - what's the method of brining up the dictionary for a spcific word? I've done gone and forgotten.
