Post some Lion bugs that you have encountered!

[RS1999ent]

Okay, two new bugs I've found:

1)Mail.app doesn't set the "replied to" flag when you reply to an e-mail from a personal IMAP folder other than INBOX. This bug has been confirmed by Apple as a known problem.

2)Lion does not properly restore windows when booting up. Try full screening a few apps, then reboot. When the machine first comes up and is still re-launching apps, switch to a full screen app. Non-full screen apps will start populating on top of the full screen app. Amusingly, these apps can be 'dragged' back to a regular (non-full screen) space.

3)For me, Airplay stops working. After some time, and perhaps after moving the laptop around to several locations and back to my apartment, iTunes will no long airplay anything to my AppleTV or my Airport Express. The devices are detected and I can select them, but iTunes will quickly de-select my selections and drop me back to "computer." Rebooting fixes the problem temporarily.

When working in Keynote, frequently get the spinning beach ball that takes about a minute to resolve. Also get significant delays in typing text.

I had major delay problems that went away after I did a reinstall of Lion. Worst delays I see now are about 1 second when autosaving a 400 page illustrated document.

Since installation of OS X Lion iCal will not stay open if you close the window. Lion wasn't ready for release.

Not a general problem -- it stays open for me.

Encountered another issue, this time when using dual display, VLC works fine outputting fullscreen video to an external display, Quicktime however either won't output to the external display or turns the external display off

Here's why: VLC hasn't been "Lionized". It works like it always has. Quicktime has and uses Lion's full screen mode. In full screen nothing is displayed on other than the main screen -- lots of complaints about Lion's full screen and Mission Control implementation from people with two or more monitors.

2)Lion does not properly restore windows when booting up. Try full screening a few apps, then reboot. When the machine first comes up and is still re-launching apps, switch to a full screen app. Non-full screen apps will start populating on top of the full screen app. Amusingly, these apps can be 'dragged' back to a regular (non-full screen) space.

And apps that are "minimized"/"hidden" come up in a window. A mess of clutter! Why isn't the window state saved? Everything should resume in exactly the same position it was left in.

Lion bugs

I too find that moving the mouse no longer wakes the screen. Other problems I've come across are:

Even though I've changed I've changed system preferences to say don't restore my windows, they're still restored every time I log on.

My iDisk settings (sync manually) keep changing when I log in and I keep having to re-download my local version of iDisk.

The necessity of having to log in each time I open a site (such as FaceBook, Google or even my home page).

You now have to click a mouse button or tap a key on the keyboard. I expect they did this because hitting the desk (such as by putting down a stack of papers) would often cause computers to wake.

That preference setting is completely missing from the documentation. I expect it was a mistake left in from one of the earlier builds and will be missing from 10.7.1. If you really don't want windows to restore, you better leave feedback to Apple!

Sounds like your browser is blocking cookies. I'm not seeing that problem. Look at the setting in the Privacy tab of Safari preferences.

I agree with what you say, but not really sure of how much of an issue it caused the old way

screen saver on - SL & Lion can wake display up by moving mouse/using trackpad

display sleep - SL woke via mouse, Lion needs a key press (as machine is still running here not sure of the issue with accidentally waking it with mouse movement)

sleep mode - both os require a key press

the new change doesn't bother me, as hitting a key is just as quick (unless you forget and use the mouse), but it seems a strange thing to change

mp3 player not recognized

i have a 2008 macbook pro
i installed lion over snow leopard through appstore
i have an mp3 player philips gogear mix
it worked when connected, on snow leopard, like an usb stick, and i could copy music files on it.
now, it dosnt see it in finder, only charges it.

other bugs, i had to restart it about 3rd times, once it stuck and used the 5 seconds power button method, other time it didn't behave well and it didn't recover without restart, once iTunes had no more control buttons, the green orange and red ones and the full size one, and i don't remember..

however, I'm happy with it

Dashboard issues

Safari has crashed on me a few times. The most persistent issue I have is with the Dashboard. For some reason, if I click anywhere on a widget (either to enter a dictionary word, enter into the exchange rate field or simply move the widget itself), it bounces me back to the desktop. I have to then swipe back into the Dashboard space to continue. If I click on a second widget, I'm back to the desktop again. Interestingly, this doesn't happen if I revert to the old method of using Dashboard, but I prefer having them in a space on the left-hand side. It makes things much more convenient.

My widgets don't work, period.

When I switch Systems to Snow Leopard, and back to Lion, or even Lion to a different vers. of Lion and back, 10.7 seems to enjoy "neatening up" my desktop. Naturally, Apple's sense of order and mine are not identical, so I have to spend time getting all my little icons back where they belong.

Hi everyone,

I am about to roll back to Snow Leopard with my mba 2011... (I upgraded from 2010 mba), There are so many bugs with the Finder, it couldn't transfer the files under the folder, the only solution is restart the computer.

I just got my mba last Saturday, one more problem/bug, then I will switch it back to Snow Leopard.

 

[RS1999ent]

Wanted to report in with one more problem --- this might affect folks with Nvidia 8600 video cards: I've gotten three kernel panics in the last three weeks. The Nvidia graphics driver is in the backtrace of all of them.

You will have to switch back to your 2010 mba then as the 2011 is Lion only.

 

[acfusion29]

did a clean install and have not experienced any bugs, yet.

will report back if i do.

 

[zzz99]

; ; you gotta be kidding...

The most annoying problem is, a lot of the time when it wake up from sleep, then I will have problem to use finder to transfer files...

network shut down

disconnects from Wireless Network after sleep. every time. asks for network password upon wake despite settings for remembering the network.
gone back to Snw lprd

The only really obvious bug I've seen so far is that when you switch from one app to another, sometimes the app name in the upper left will still show the previously active app, unless you click on that menu item.

And it will continue to be until all the bugs are squashed!

The screensaver "word of the day" is broken in lion and only shows a blank screen.

 

[BAC5.2]

Occasionally, when waking the computer, I'll get the default Lion background image rather than my normal one.

When dragging a disc to the trash (for ejection), the popup label says "TRASH" instead of "EJECT"

You can't drag items between desktops without being ON that desktop. So if I have three Camino windows open and go to Mission Control from a different desktop, I have to option+arrow (or cmd+arrow, however you have it set up) to make the Camino desktop my main one, and THEN drag the window over to a new desktop.

A feature that I think should exist, is the ability to treat external monitors separately. I'd love to be able to change desktops on the laptop screen, while leaving the external monitor to have the same screen.

left cmd key activates mission control.

- The headline is selfexplanatory. *EDIT: It's not the left, it's the RIGHT cmd key.

- Also the sensitivity of my logitech performance mouse's zoom ability has gone haywire. It's way to high, and I don't know how to adjust it. It isn't related to the scroll speed sensitivity, which works perfect.

 

[YourHerojb]

Safari's google search bar won't work properly, the drop down menu for auto complete and recent searches won't work at all unless I reset Safari, but it persists a few minutes later.



Now my bluetooth can't be found.
I've tried restarting, holding the power after shutting down, resetting PRAM and resetting SMC.
It was working last night.

Is this a lion bug or is something actually wrong?
Any advice, please.

 

[YourHerojb]

Idk what's going on with the restart screen changing to 2-3 shades of gray each time.

Not sure if this is a Lion bug, but when i click on my Skype icon on the top right corner, it opens up my Steam friends list all the time. Anyone experiencing this?
