For the sake of preserving my sanity I’ve not posted numbers 1 through 83 of my Leopard Laments, but this one pressed my “irk” button quite a few times this evening, so I figured I would share it.

It looks like fan-style Stacks in Leopard get clipped when they spill over the boundary of your primary display and onto the second, as depicted above. I don’t know if this affects all resolutions, but it is completely reproducible on my Mac Pro with both displays running at their native resolution of 2560×1600. My primary display is on the left-hand side, with the secondary on the right-hand side. They’re aligned in the Displays preference pane.

With Apple pushing multi-display setups on desktops and portables (as well as over-hyping Stacks in general), I’m somewhat surprised this managed to pass muster and exit QA without being detected. Odd.

Naturally, I reported this a short while ago through RadarWeb and hopefully it’ll be addressed in 10.5.2. With this recent bug, I’ve filed a total of 84 bug reports against 10.5 and 10.5.1. <rant>Unlike those that pirate somehow obtain pre-release builds and plaster screenshots all over for the purpose of looking “cool” to their friends, I actually do report things from time to time.</rant>
