One that will stump you!

Does anyone know why, when you go to change the screen color of your windows ie Mac HD screen it won't stay the color you want and then it does some really UNSTABLE stuff to the rest of the screens. I rebooted still nothing...serious try it. I have the latest upgrades, reboots and even defrag...I know you don't have to defrag.
Open finder.
Click on View
Show view options
Change to: This window only
Background: change color
Then close the window.

Now click on something else and come back.....it won't be the color you selected. Sometimes yes, sometimes no....I actually messed with this for an hour and couldn't determine any reason for this.
Its little guirks like this that make me nervous about a MAC???
Thoughts comments concerns???

Wow..........no one wants to tackle this one????
Its probably too complicated or no one has ever heard of this before.

I noticed this to, I had set the colour of my USB drive, to green, so it would stand out. then when i went back to it about 10 minutes later it was now red. Dunno what causes it.

It is a very small bug.

There was already a fairly extensive thread on this subject. Short version: it's an Intel bug. PPC not affected.
