The glitch Apple ignores
The problem here is that the arrow doesn’t point to the center of the highlighted icon in the Dock. It only appears in the Dock’s Exposé mode, when you click and hold an icon. The UI glitch was introduced in the 10.6.5 update of Snow Leopard, and I reported it on my Twitter account in November last year.
After the 10.6.6 update of Mac OS X, I looked to see if this was fixed, but to my surprise, it wasn’t. How come a company that emphasizes the design of its products as a feature doesn’t care about small details like this? I looked to see if the bug had been reported on any Apple-related blog, and I didn’t find any related stories. How come nobody noticed it and reported it to Apple?
I thought Mr. Gruber would be the first person to report this, but lately he’s more preoccupied with what Google or Microsoft are doing. I also wonder if this bug will still be present in the next version of Mac OS X, named Lion.
