After starting up Lion for the first time I got a message saying that I needed to delete two fonts because they conflicted with system fonts... I believe they were Lucida Grande and Lucida Grande Bold. Trusting the warning box that popped up, I hit delete but was very skeptical... turns out this really jacked up my interface. Help??? I've attached screen caps of what it looks like.

You apparently deleted system fonts. Not sure how to resolve this; someone else will know how.
 
Heres my two so far:

Photo booth- Once opened cannot scroll through different effects, cannot close app when wanted to.

xcode- downloaded new version, while installing about half way through I got a new pop up window that stated that I needed to exit iTunes to complete install but iTunes was not opened. I opened and quit iTunes about four times and still had the warning. I then tried to force quit the Xcode install which would not let me quit. I then attempted a shut down and was told that i needed to exit Xcode installer before I could do that.

I ended up doing a hard shut down, rebooted and Xcode loaded properly and seems to be working fine.
 
Solution

When I click on something, and select it, wait a send or two and it "clicks off" like I clicked a window and then clicked off onto the desktop. Anyone else having this problem? It makes everything annoyingly useless.

As it turns out the HyperSpaces App will cause the problem I described. If you have it you have to use activity monitor and force it to quit and then you need to get rid of it.
 
I too REALLY hate the inability to put my favorites below devices in finder. It's should be like a hierarchy, this is just backwards… The old side bar was great in that respect.
 
  • Multiple desktops in wrong order.
  • Can't have more than one full-screen app per desktop.


These two things arn't bugs. Documentation says desktops will be listed in order based off use, numbers are merely indicators of the order they were created in.

Secondly, full screen apps are their own desktop. It's suppose to be this way. Would kind of be counterproductive any other way. They function as apps comparable to an iOS device. I prefer it this way.
 
2 small bugs I've encountered, firstly the profile icon on the login screen is pixelated (tried a couple of the default OSX icons but no change). Also getting an issue in Mission Control where sometimes it stacks all the windows on top of one another, so you can only get at whatever it's decided to put on top :confused:

I noticed the pixelated user icons on the login screen as well. Odd.
 
Netflix

I got another one... Netflix works in the browser window set to "full screen" but when you set safari in Lion's Full Screen mode, it can't keep a constant frame rate. i guess it's a silverlight issue??
 
"Bugs" and observations so far...

Background:
3 macs, 27" i7 BTO iMac, 21.5" "standard" iMac, Mac mini, all recent, plus a new time capsule.
> Initial install went fine on 27" (direct wire)
> Install over wireless for the other two went fine.

What I've observed so far after a couple hours poking around.....

> Wireless often will not reconnect after a reboot. Had the network hidden, and nearly every time have to enter in the network name and PW.. VERY annoying. I made the name public again, and it works most of the time now, but sometimes VERY slow and inconsistent to resolve for my two wireless machines (all on Lion, all nearly new)

> On App store, you can start a download, then midstream, it shows the app as "update" instead of "install". If you poke the button again, it hangs the installer and leaves it in Launch pad. A number of reboots later it cleared up.

> Ejecting a disc in a finder sidebar closes the finder window (should stay open)

> Disc volume information no longer shows on the bottom of the finder window (is there a setting for this somewhere?)

> Deleted Parallels a long time ago, but Launch pad somehow found a bunch (several panes worth) of windows apps it displays, but I can neither find nor delete these icons

> Can't remove unwanted icons from launch pad! - is there an option somewhere? This is bad.

> Launch pad doesn't respect SOME of my folders inside the app folder. Some of them it keeps in Launch pad, some it put all the apps in launch pad outside of their folder.

> App Installer hung installing xcode, saying I needed to close iTunes when it wasn't open.... took a couple reboots to clear that

> Like windows Lion does NOT let you delete delivered apps you don't want, and they clutter up launch pad since you can't remove them either - for instance, I don't play chess, so want to delete it, but it says its a "required OS function" - Gaa! windows at its worst.

> App installer doesn't check if you have the app already.. can just keep installing it. Should check.

> Each machine required a seperate 4gig download - should have been able to download once for my network. Not a show stopper, but annoying.

> Disk Utilities text has not been updated to reflect the new utilities partition (still says, if you have a problem, put in the install disk ....)

Same here....
 
> Ejecting a disc in a finder sidebar closes the finder window (should stay open)
This should only happen if that is the window being displayed. Like say you have a drive named media and you are viewing something in that drive and eject it, it will close that finder window. Does it close if you are on a folder on your lion partition?

> Disc volume information no longer shows on the bottom of the finder window (is there a setting for this somewhere?)
Yes check the view option for what you are looking for.

> Deleted Parallels a long time ago, but Launch pad somehow found a bunch (several panes worth) of windows apps it displays, but I can neither find nor delete these icons
Check <user name>/Applications/<your old virtual machines name>.

> App Installer hung installing xcode, saying I needed to close iTunes when it wasn't open.... took a couple reboots to clear that
If you see this again check activity monitor in the utilities folder for the iTunes process. Just because iTunes wasn't open does't mean the process wasn't still running in the background for some reason.

try "sudo rm -R /Applications/Chess.app" in a terminal window. you will need to enter your password but it should let you delete it. keep in mind that this will delete it FOREVER(unless you copy back from another install)!

Hope this is of some help.
 
Bugs...

Just a quick list of bugs encountered so far.

1. When moving files(jpegs) to a USB stick computer freezes. (Had to do a force quit)
2. Icons in Launchpad did not match up with names. Photoshop icon with Mail title below it.
3. Some icons in Launchpad had no image, just a vacant box with dashes.


Thats it, otherwise I'm loving Lion.
 
iTunes, when in fullscreen at startup, fails to give itself it's own space after a restart. Clicking the icon on the dock shows the iTunes window but it doesn't have window controlls and it looks like it should be fullscreen.

Might be related to my iTunes library being on a network drive. Not sure, haven't been able to test this.

Try just leaving fullscreen from the view menu then reentering fullscreen. Had this bug in developer preview 4 and that was how I got it working again.
 
Couldn't read everything, but is anyone have a problem with their profiles saving ANY setting. I tried startup items, folder preferences, safari bookmarks, etc. every time I quit an application and start it back up, my settings are gone.
 
Oddity

Mail app icon doesn't have a light indicator under it whether open or minimized.

Yepp, if you quit iTunes helper from a activity monitor, it works.

That was very helpful - I'll check all those things...

Thanks!
 
Hmm, not a bug our say, but I have deleted my Chrome and thought I could get away with the new webkit 2 safari, not sure now. It's slow and clunky, still fails to fully support flash although that's Lion and Apple as a whole to be fair, so I've had to install the flash blockers again. But it's performance is just so clunky? The disk is alway's being used, browsing is just not smooth with it. I'm going to keep going and see if it improvs as Safari is the only bloody browser that uses the Intel GPU rather then the Nvidia!! Why the other browsers can't do this I'll never know.

On a brighter note I love all the fancy swipe animations, very trick. I really want Safari to work, I like it's features, just want it to be smooth.

I also had to remove my Belkin router software as every time I woke the machine from sleep the Usb Printer Server part would max out the CPU. The software didn't do much anyway so no loss.
 
Losing copy and cursor control

Ever since i upgraded to Lion I keep suddenly losing my copy in middle of typing - doesn't seem to be software specific, has happened in Outlook, Word, Basecamp so far. And the cursor suddenly for no obvious reason jumps to a different place in the document or text. Its like a ton of hot keys have been allocated to the wrong keys!:eek:
 
Hello,

- wifi does not automatically connect when iMac wakes up.
-quicktime player resumes where i last finished.. (Not the best thing ever)
- if i click on the full screen quicktime icon at the top right corner it doesn't do anything but click on the window below...
 
For some reason, ever since installing Lion, Safari has been showing me constant whining and belly-aching.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I might just downgrade to SL.
 
In a new tab in Safari, the "X" to close the tab won't appear unless you go to another tab then back.

EDIT: happens when you have the option set to open new pages in tabs. Doesn't seem to work control-click because you have to go to that tab first.
 
Mail--sometimes it will not send a new email,citing problems with the email account, but will do so, if I close/open the application. Apart from that I am impressed by email so far.
 
No sure if this was mentioned yet.
^(Control) + 2 finger slide to zoom stops working occasionally. Logging out and back in fixes the problem temporarily. This is on my 2010 Mac Mini.

I also get a lot of random connects and disconnects with Apples bluetooth keyboard and magic pad.
