Well it isn't Friday, but since Mac OS X 10.4.3 came out yesterday, I figure this is as good a time as any to go over the 12 bugs that I've noted on here, as well as four others that I just mentioned in passing. (In case you were wondering, Mac OS X 10.4.3 also has some security updates included with it, too.)

Here's all the information you need:

ABF No.	Official Bug No.	Short Description	Status in Mac OS X 10.4.3	State in Bug Reporter system
I	4223711	Keyboard layout switching inconsistent	not fixed	still open
II	4234753	Text fields don't always update	fixed, perhaps publicly documented as point #11 under "Other"  not fixed	closed, marked as duplicate
III	4243833	Owner/group in get info windows aren't accurate	fixed, publicly documented as CVE-2005-2749	closed, marked as duplicate
IV	4252818	Up/down arrows don't work in Spotlight menu	not fixed	closed
V	4262172	Corrupted frame between cursor appearance changes	not fixed	closed, marked as duplicate
VI	4270684	Dashboard temporarily freezes interface on invocation	not fixed	closed, marked as duplicate
VII	4293074	Many items on desktop causes high CPU usage	appears fixed	still open
VIII	4293075	dragging items to blank CD/DVD creates incorrect aliases	possibly fixed, hard to verify since it was erratic	closed, marked as duplicate
IX	4300878	Keychain Access searching is case-sensitive	fixed, publicly documented as point #5 under "Other applications"	closed, marked as duplicate
X	4300880	Finder incorrectly reports state of copying when uploading to iDisk	not fixed, although now instead of hanging at "About 5 seconds...", it says "Closing file..."	closed, marked as duplicate
XI	4311999	Customizing date and time format oddities	partially fixed -- customization of different lengths now works as expected, but customization of medium-length time format still resets Date and Time control panel settings, and the interface for changing formats isn't improved	still open
XII	4322243	white lines through feeds in Safari	not fixed	still open
-	4145625	CD/DVD burning creates coaster when other intensive tasks are running	appears fixed, although I'm doubting whether this is a bug or just a one-time hardware failure	closed
-	4145629	Command-Tab switcher does not honor keyboard layout	not fixed, ARG THIS IS SO ANNOYING and has been a problem since the inception of Mac OS X, even when Command-Tab used the Dock	closed, marked as duplicate
-	4145635	Disk usage and number of enclosed items should be stored as metadata so that accessing this information is immediate in Get Info windows	not fixed	closed
-	4215588	Hard drive usage statistics on desktop don't automatically update even though the statistics in Finder windows do	not fixed	closed, marked as duplicate

Oof, just doing that for my 12+4 pet bugs is a bit time-consuming. Anyway, any bugs that are marked as genuinely fixed (i.e.: no uncertainty, marked with the darker shade of green) here will hereby be retired from further Apple Bug Friday Reviews. If it isn't fixed, is only partially improved, or only might be fixed, the bug will be carried on to the next Apple Bug Friday Review.

I'm also contemplating resubmitting all closed bugs that still exist in Mac OS X 10.4.3 as new bugs, since it would be good to get my pet bugs back into the system, just in case. And if anyone makes the ridiculous statement that Apple is going to quash every known bug with a subsequent update or has already done so with Mac OS X 10.4.3, please point them to my table. :)

(Oh, and in case you didn't notice.... THIS entry is a case when you should use HTML tables. ;) )
