Sometimes when I press Cmd-Tab, only a few of the application icons show up
on-screen. If I press it again, the same few icons appear.

If I repeatedly press Cmd-Tab and change to one of those applications, and
then again press Cmd-Tab, I see all the icons of the open applications.

Sometimes pressing Cmd-Tab shows only one icon and it's not possible to
change applications. Only choosing an app from the Dock gets me out of the
loop.

It's not limited to one application It has happened before but I can't say if
it was Eudora I was using in the past when I noticed it.

Rebooting is not a long-term fix. It occurs randomly regardless when I've
last rebooted.

Anyone else experience this? Know what the cause is? The fix?

Thanks,
Dave

Does it always happen with the same applications? If so, which ones?

No. Random ones. So far: Eudora, Finder, Safari.

Thanks.
