I upgraded my iMac (2.8Ghz, 4GB Ram) to 10.5.6. and notice some odd behavior and crashes today:
1)
Applications I use a lot every day (Entourage, Real Player, Firefox and Safari) crash a lot. E.g.: Real Player is just running in the background and died a few times on me today. Safari sometimes showed a white box instead of the context menu on right click and crashed right after that - when I restarted the app I only had a big white box showing (see attached image Safari_GUI_error.png). After quitting and restarting Safari again it looked fine.
2)
The menu bar icon for spaces gets messed up once in a while. it usually shows a white number with 4 black rectangles behind it - Mine was missing the 4 rectangles a few times today and just showed the number. A click on the icon brought the rects back. See Spaces_Error.png
3)
On my middle mouse button I show all spaces - for the first time today every 2nd or 3rd time I see one or two of the spaces just black or white. I have never had that before...
4)
Quite often the application switcher doesn't show up when I press "command+tab" - it does change to the next app but I can't see which one I select. It sometimes just comes back after a while but I couldn't see a pattern yet.
...all those things came up today while working on the Mac and I just updated it yesterday which makes me think it's related to that. Anybody else with similar behavior?
