Ever since I installed Leopard on my dual 2.0 G5 (early 2005 model), the Dock, Mail, and to some extent Safari have gone nuts. With no discernable pattern, every once in a while, when I click on Mail in the dock, all I get is a Finder window showing Mail in my Applications folder window. Mail then acts very strange, automatically opening a new email message (that I can't get rid of without force quitting), and not allowing me to get into my mailboxes. It doesn't "freeze", but it might as well. All I can do is restart the machine.
When the above happens in Dock, Safari then sometimes goes nuts as well. When I click on a menu bar bookmark, a new tab opens, but Safari doesn't function properly.
Additionally sometimes no matter what (anywhere on my desktop) I try to click, I get a little window with "options" that won't let me do anything (I have to restart).
I've had to restart my machine more times since I installed Leopard two weeks ago than I have for the entire time I've owned it. So far I'm way less than impressed with Leopard's functionality, and I'm having flashbacks to the six weeks (or more) I spent trying to get my IILC functional when I "upgraded" from System 6 to System 7 all those years ago. I still have grey hairs and wrinkles from that fiasco.
Please, please, please tell me I'm not the only one that this is happening to, and that there's an easy fix.
I really don't want to call Apple, since the people in Bangalore don't have a friggin' clue (all they can do is read from their scripted flow chart).
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out here...
Thanks for any help!
