Lion bugs

Hello community,


I've been testing Lion (10.7.1) since it came out and have made the following notes on problems I've encountered along the way:


Occasionally the keyboard stops working. The function keys continue to work (ie the volume brightness etc) however I just can't type anything. This seems to be caused by Mission Control. But funnily enough when I kill the Dock process then the keyboard comes back, until I use spaces / mission control again.


NFS share names are not the name of the directory they are mounted to. They appear as the name of the NFS export which is incorrect.


The AD plugin is unstable - UID & GID's do not seem to map to their corresponding names. So when checking permissions in Terminal you see the UID number rather than the relating name.


The text in a window title randomly goes red.


iTunes crashes - generally on the first time I start it. Especially if my iPhone is connected.


Finder menu bar occasionally goes black.


The screensaver does not unlock. You type the password in but the screensaver stays on. You can still switch between spaces and you can see the screen for a moment however it goes back to the locked screensaver. The only way I managed to get around this one was SSH'ing into the machine and killing the screensaver process.


Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection is not very stable. It often crashes when RDP'ing into a machine, particularly straight after putting the password in.


FileMaker is no longer friendly with NFS mounts. In 10.6 I can open FileMaker databases from an NFS share point, however performing the same task from 10.7, FileMaker tells me it cannot find the database.


Just thought I'd get these comments out into the public domain. I'm sure there are other users experiencing similar issues.


Regards,

Luke

If you want to report these issues to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system for each item. Posting here doesn't get their attention. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

I can't comment on the other items, but note that these things are not bugs... these are not normal things that everyone using Lion is seeing. I'd advise you to try some of the troubleshooting tips in the second half of Understanding upgrade nightmares*.
