Well, 2 days with the Macbook/Leopard and bugs galore already

#1. Safari doesn't load select pages.
#2. Dashboard widget's text size has increased for no apparent reason.

Safari seems to be bugged beyond belief. If my connection is dropped on a webpage, it will no longer be possible to load it. Some pages it just refuses to load. Right now, it's Apple.com (how ironic is that?). The *only* thing that solves this is a full system restart. Resetting Safari doesn't do anything, neither does quitting and restarting.

More infuriating, my Dashboard has arbitrarily decided to increase the text size of the widgets. This happened for no reason on a restart. I see no option ANYWHERE to change text sizes, neither in system options or the Dashboard. I can no longer see alot of the text in the widgets, since it's spilling over eachother/the widget.

Will see how Apple's tech support responds...

 

cant help ya with the widgets thing, but try opera instead of safari. ive been usin it for months and i love it

 

Just a quick question, about Qutting and restarting safari, did you click on the little red cross at the top left of the safari browser window, or did you use Cmd+Q or right click on the Safari icon in the dock and select Quit?

 

I figured out the Dashboard bug. Apparently, when you use the new "Open in Dashboard" function, it takes Safari's TEXT SETTINGS and applies globally to Dashboard. That's strike 2 for Safari as I'm concerned. Will probably be sticking to Firefox.

Budding: I'm quite aware of the difference between Command Q (quitting) and hitting X button .

 

As for the Firefox comment, CitizenPanda, might want to throw out Camino as a web browser option .

Its based on Firefox, made by Mozilla as well, but has a more Mac look and integrates more with OS X features such as Keychain (saving passwords).

 

What noble display of courage, to actually post about the bugs you've found in Leopard! Soon there will be people calling you a wanker, etc.----do not dismay.

 

To the OP: What method of installation did you use for Leopard or did you just buy a new Mac with Leopard pre-installed? If you installed Leopard the best course of action is to do a clean install. At the installation screen you should choose Disk Utility to erase, reformat and install. It's a major system upgrade and hitting upgrade or Archive and Install the first time really isn't the best choice.
I have had zero problems with Leopard as I installed by erase, reformat and install. Safari works great and the Dashboard widgets issue you are experiencing does happen for me. So in conclusion, it may be a pain but it's worth doing a clean install.

 

New Macbook! Santa Rosa, x3100, and leopard. Would have been astonishingly silly to buy an old model wouldn't you say.
