A simple message search is enough to throw Mail off and cause it to change your preferred Inbox view settings.

A subtle difference that is nonetheless a constant source of irritation.

Maybe you should not try this at home…

Lets you change formatting, but not copy the selected text.

Another one of these pretty basic text editing flaws, still there in Mail 2.x two years after the release of Tiger.

Messages in transit in UI limbo…

It’s hard to tell whether Mail can actually still be “trained” once you take it out of “Training” mode.

A confusing interface, sloppy design, and actual bugs: It’s got it all!

Grey scroll bars in iTunes 7? Big deal… The real problem is with real inconsistencies that actually impact usability.

A long-standing problem that is part of a more general trend at Apple: Usability bugs and flaws are simply not getting fixed. Ever.

But, unlike Leander Kahney, I don’t “love” them.

A new tech note that nicely sums up everything that’s wrong in Apple’s software division today.

A flaw that was there two years ago, and is still there today. Typical.

When you’re finished reading a thread, Mail fails to automatically select the next message in the list.

Apple could allow double-clicking on the thread heading of an expanded thread to collapse it.
