OS X 10.7 Lion GM niggles

a few things i've noticed...

- slightly glitchy-ness when white apple screen appears on start up, kind of flickers once or twice
- calendar automatically uncreating events (have to create twice to have it stick)
- itunes in full screen mode sometimes becomes a regular sized window in full-screen mode, meaning you have to quit out of full screen mode then back into it often
- trackpad scrolling can be unresponsive/jerky (in safari, at least)

- iChat disconnecting (Major)
- iChat not making any sounds (Minor)
- My mail client was hiding with my widgets one day (Minor)
- Safari freezes for a few seconds EVERYTIME I make a new tab (Minor)
- LaunchPad not animating smoothly (Minor)
- Xcode sometimes won't stay in fullscreen and laggy going into fullscreen (Minor)

Also, I don't like that I can't drag files to other spaces.
 
Minimized windows won't go away!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but I think I found a rather serious bug.

I was checking out the new preview app and opening a bunch of pdfs so that I could see how everything was working.

Everything seemed just fine. I had resume enabled so when I quit and then reopen preview the same windows come back. Only I noticed all of the windows (maybe that I'd ever opened) were also minimized. I open the minimized windows to close them but they just reappear in the minimized section. I've restarted the computer, disabled resume etc. I have no idea how to get rid of them.

Not a huge deal as this is only a test install but I had issues with minimized windows (and preview for that matter) in SL and I was hoping in Lion Apple would finally get it right.

Here is a pick of all the minimized windows that won't go away!

Edit: So it is definitely something to do with the preference files for preview. I deleted them, opened preview and all the minimized windows were gone. Opened some new pdfs and everything is ok...until I quite preview and then the next time I open it I get the minimized windows that won't go away. I have resume unchecked but it doesn't appear to be sticking...

^ they are previous documents (the minimised will have window icons). you can also access them by right clicking its Dock icon when open or closed. to clear them, clear the recents from the file menu.

Oh thanks! I feel dumb now... Still fairly unintuitive for someone used to the old system...hmmmm

You'd agree that it's not ready for general availability, right?

Edit: weird, my audio greyed out too. Is this a joke?
Click to expand...

My audio is greyed out as well. I had the same problem on DP1.

I've noticed that it greys out on boot -- Then, if you plug in headphones for a few seconds, everything works fine. Even if you unplug them.

Of course, next boot you're back to square one.

And I haven't figured out a way to really solve the problem. Any luck?

Edit: Deleting library/preferences/audio/com.apple.deviceaudio.plist seems to do the trick. It spontaneously appeared, so it may do so again. But this does at least survive a reboot.

Slow transitions on desktop with Mission control, open/close windows on MBP 2011

Very slow response on open/close windows, mission control... on MBP 2011 i7 2.2 8GB RAM with the Radeon 6750M 1G VRAM....

I don´t know why.....

It might be a bug, but it's in Facebook. Safari sets the date of the file to the date sent from the server, and Facebook sends the files with that date.

Apple seemed interested in it, requested more information...

My other niggles:

1. Can't swipe trackpad to wake from sleep like SL , have to click.
2. More actual clicking as double click drag lock gone. if you use 3 fingers to move, you lose being able to swipe back a finder window.
3. Bug reported.
4. I noticed a glitch with pages and recents from the dock, a file i created in SL wan't showing the icon in show recents, clicked on it and it basically crashed pages with a white screen, the dock vanished and reappeared. I had to manually open it and re-save to fix.
4. I will add to this list...as I'm sure there's more...

I found a pretty major bug when it comes to trackpad gestures.

The "natural" (reversed) scrolling doesn't fully apply when you select swipe between pages with two OR three fingers. This makes swiping with two fingers the reversed way but doesn't change the direction of three finger swiping. So basically...if you're in Safari and want to go to the previous page, you can swipe right with two fingers or LEFT with three fingers. And enabling swiping with two or three fingers is the only way to be able to swipe to the previous page in Finder or Twitter etc...

That Apple would overlook something this basic is ridiculous.

That's funny. I noticed what you're talking about in D1, but in the GM, I'm actually reverse swiping with three fingers to go back in Safari -- while Chrome seems to have lost all three-finger swipe functionality.

I don't fully understand what you're saying the bug might be. That swiping to go back a page with two fingers requires that you swipe right, while swiping with three fingers to go back a page requires that you go left? That's always felt pretty natural to me with the visual thing that the two-finger swipe gives in Safari. (?)
 
Yes! Slow Firewire Speeds

Has anyone else experienced slow firewire speeds in OSX Lion GM using Time Machine?

When I backed up SL originally it said 60 minutes from clean install and all apps added 117GB.

When trying to backup Lion from clean install and all apps to Lacie drive, via firewire 800 at roughly the same size, says 2 hours and appears slow.

Is there any way I can determine the throughput speed? Activity monitor says a peak of 12mb per second. Is this correct?
Click to expand...

I am having extremely slow Firewire 800 speeds. Estimate time to backup 1TB, 210 Days!

GM = GM which means this is the version which be available at AppStore for the masses. There will be no second GM.
Click to expand...

Actually... a GM is what Apple would like to go out as a final version, but they leave a short period of time (14 days in this case) for developers to locate bugs. If major bugs are found, there will be a GM2 release, and then another final testing period, before GM2 is released to the public.

Its happened before.
 
My bugs, 2010 MBP:

-Doesn't autoconnect to Wifi
-greyed-out audio bug, as was previously reported. Thanks for the headphones tip, InfinitySquared. Previously I was just restarting until it fixed itself.
-Safari is still pretty buggy. Sometimes pages become unresponsive and I'm unable to click anywhere. If you go fullscreen with a flash video (not the built-in fullscreen) and swipe to a new space, the menubar goes away.
-Opening my Mail inbox is slow. It's resorting itself every time for some reason. Granted I have thousands of messages in it, but the old mail didn't do this.

I'm not sure this GM is up to standard, really.
Click to expand...

I agree 100% OS X Lion just doesn't feel right when you work with it. So many issues, bad performances, ...
IMO it is a rushed out OS X version needed for the upcomming new Macbook Pros and iMacs. Shame really ... will give OS X a bad name for sure.

Upcoming MBP's??
 
I'm having a problem with iPhoto and Time Machine. With iPhoto the selected window, entering Time Machine no longer brings up the iPhoto/Time Machine interface, just a normal Finder window/Time Machine one.

This is with a clean install of the GM seed. It seems to work OK in Snow Leopard.

Is this working for anyone.
 
The only issue I'm having (I'm on GM) is when I boot my Mac. About 50% of the time my MBP freezes when the login screen pops up. When this happens, I force a shutdown and reboot. The second time it doesn't freeze. I've been using Lion since DP 2 and the GM is the first time I've had this issue.

That's actually a feature, and it's pretty convenient.

Not for all apps. How is this convenient for Quicktime for example? It should be smarter thna that. For example if i launch the app from the Dock it may open all previous documents, but if i launch the app by double clicking (or CMD+O) on a file it should in my opinion open just that file or files (if more than one).

Now it will open 50 previous documents and that one new on top. How is this convenient? Doesn't make sense at all.
 
I searched and did not find anyone mentioning this.

There is a "sort-of" bug with the scrollbar in Safari. The scrollbar is black or white depending on the page background's color. However, this is determined by the page's stylesheet (I believe). Therefore, if the body background-color is dark, the scrollbar will be white -- even if only a small portion of the background is actually visible.

See here: http://pastehtml.com/view/b0r9xxxmh.html

It's not a huge deal, but I did notice it because I was on a page like that and the scrollbar seemingly disappeared.
