Installed the update to version 2.5.7 and now i have to click multiple times just to get it to pop up and somtimes will pop up mullitple times as if it is only responding to my multiple attempts to open it several seconds lateer so will be downgrading back to the last version.
I am running OSX 10.5.8 1.83Ghz Mac Mini 2gb DDR
Thanks

I am also seeing the same issue running on my 10.4.11 machine.
2 x 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
4GB 667MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Downgrading now to fix.

Thanks for letting us know (too bad though - I thought we had finally solved this problem for everyone!)
After the first click, did you notice if the menu at the top of the screen had switched to Overflow - but without the window becoming active?
Also, are you using Spaces at all?

I am seeing it cycle very rapidly from Finder...Overflow...Finder. This happens mostly. Occasionally, Overflow will stay in the top menu without a window appearing. I do use a Wacom tablet with one of the stylus buttons set to double click. If I use the pens double click Overflow seems to function properly every time. I hope this helps.

It appears to have settled down now, i tends to happen when opening for the first time when the machine is reloaded.
I can see it pop up on occassions but very feint but once loaded appears to be okay.
I have tried to recreate it exactly but not able to currently.

Also no I do not have spaces used.

Thanks for the updates. If you do notice a way that you can reproduce it reliably please do let me know.

Well managed to re-create this , and tool a screen cast of it at the same time.
It appears if you click it too fast when other apps are loading or doing anything it tends to play up.
Just let me know if you want a link to the video I will upload it to see if it helps as it shows the clicks.

I'm sure it would be helpful to take a look at that video if you don't mind.

Hi,
I've got the same problem, introduced with 2.7. It affects users on 10.5.8 using spaces and users on 10.6.2 not using spaces.
I can't reproduce it on my Mac though.

I too am having the same problems.
How do I get to DOWNLOAD an older version that works? like 2.5.4 ?

If you could let us know the most recent version that works correctly for you that would be very helpful.
