This brings to mind the infamous greyed out minimize button. It was spotted occasionally in Tiger: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=216494 and continued to be seen in Leopard: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=394912 and was still evident in Snow Leopard: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2347982&tstart=0 I've witnessed it myself sporadically over a period of 5 years or so. I've no idea what causes it, but it's not life-threatening. And some people may never see it at all. It doesn't happen to me very often.

How do you ignore them when they grind your browser to a halt, consume all your CPU time and make the fans spin up like a 707 taking off from Nairobi in the hot season? Daniele

Because they don't? The browser runs fast enough. The fans don't bother me that much, either. At some time, this iG5 will flake out and I will get an IntelMac. Judging by Anne's MBP, it'll be a whole lot quicker. But I'm not yet bothered by the iG5's lack of speed. -- Peter

Never noticed anything like that. I'm a PC remember. -- Geoff Berrow (Put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies. My opinions, not the committee's, mine.
