Strange Tiger UI problem

[patseguin]

This just started happening to me. The dock "magnify" effect deosn't work any more. Additionally, anything that should change on mouseovers, like the titlebar buttons, menus, etc. doesn't work. I've tried logging out as well as rebooting. Nothing has solved it. I never had this problem with the betas or Panther. Any suggestions?

Did that already.

I got the same problem with the dock. I just turned mangification off and then on again and it fixed!

This happens occasionally to me on Panther too.

It's not just the dock though. Menus are not working right either. Is it possible that my install became corrupted somehow?

What sort of install did you do? Was it a reformat/install or just an upgrade?

IIRC, there is an open issue with the x800 videocard in Tiger.

There is? Can you be more specific? I went through 3 betas and the final release candidate without any problems like this. I installed the retail last Friday and the problems just started occurring yesterday. Could it be that the driver problem cropped up in 8A428?

And, for who asked, I did an archive and install. When I bought my Raptor drive, I installed 8A425 and then did an archive and install of the final.
