Bluetooth headset and 10.5.1 (Leopard)
After a year of using a bluetooth headset with Tiger and Macbook Pro I tried it today with Leopard for the first time. Soon I had to disconnect the headset because it appears to bring some programmes and the whole system into an instable state.
1) Mail crashed leading to the crash of the whole system when I was sending a mail message. It was a very simple mail - plain text, no attachment, about 10 KB, but Mail.app stopped responding while showing the spinning symbol at the outgoing mail box. A busy cursor didn't disapear. As I tried to quit and even to force quit Mail.app, the whole Finder stopped responding. Then the Dock, then the whole OS... I couldn't even restart the system with keyboard. Finally I turned the computer off.
2) After a new login with my headset turned on and connected (The bluetooth symbol on the menu bar was showing the connected state.) I saw that everything in the system that deals with network or bluetooth responds slowly, i.e. freezes for about 10 - 30 seconds each time when I click on it with the mouse: If I click for example on the bluetooth symbol on the menu bar, it takes about half a minute for the drop-down menu to appear. When I connected to the my server over AFP, the Finder didn't close the progress dialog very long after the remote directory was already visible in the file system. When I opened the System Preferences, the busy cursor appeared and I had to wait about half a minute before I could select the symbols with the mouse. Even Safari froze for a moment at start-up.
Now I've turned off the headset, and everything appears to be normal again.
I upgraded Tiger to Leopard on Nov. 13. and wasn't using the headset after that. Then I installed a system update 10.5.1. after it was released. I don't know for sure if the problems that I experience now deal with Leopard as such or with the recent system update. I'm curious if anybody already observed the issues discribed above and if Apple already knows about it.
