Apple Bug Friday Review II: Mac OS X 10.4.4
Thursday, 2006-01-12; 03:38:00
So Mac OS X 10.4.4 is out. Sadly, it looks like most of the improvements were in making those damn extra widgets rather than fixing any of the bugs that I've reported. *sigh* Oh well. Here's everything you need to know:
ABF No. | Official Bug No. | Short Description | Status in Mac OS X 10.4.4 | State in Bug Reporter system |
- | 4145625 | CD/DVD burning creates coaster when other intensive tasks are running | appears fixed | closed |
- | 4145629 | Command-Tab switcher does not honor keyboard layout | not fixed | 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 |
I | 4223711 | Keyboard layout switching inconsistent | not fixed | still open |
II | 4234753 | Text fields don't always update | appears fixed (turns out it definitely was NOT fixed in 10.4.3) not fixed | closed, marked as duplicate |

VIII | 4293075 | dragging items to blank CD/DVD creates incorrect aliases | appears fixed | closed, marked as duplicate |
X | 4300880 | Finder incorrectly reports state of copying when uploading to iDisk | not fixed, although 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 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 | closed, marked as duplicate (original bug ID: 4084483) |
XII | 4322243 | white lines through feeds in Safari | not fixed | closed marked as duplicate (original bug ID: 3633944) |
XIII | 4364497 | excessive grid spacing on Desktop for 10 point font size | not fixed | closed, marked as duplicate |
XIV | 4364498 | iTunes does not allow some info/options to be changed en-masse, no "TV Show" option for Video Kind | partially fixed: there is now a "TV Show" option for video kind in iTunes 6.0.2, but it hasn't addressed the problem of not being able to batch change some info/options | still open |
XV | 4364501 | can't set "Video Kind" property via AppleScript | not fixed | still open |

XXIII | 4394612 | telling Front Row to activate via an AppleScript causes problems | not fixed, although now it is not possible to press the virtual escape key to trigger Front Row: you have to rely on the Keyboard and Mouse pref pane shortcut -- you can still get this bug to happen, though | still open |
