Hi everyone Well, it had to happen, my installation of OS X is starting to act up a little. I've noticed two rather annoying behaviors that have cropped up within the past few weeks that were not present before. 1. While in finder, when browsing a folder, occasionally I will be taken back to my home directory. I don't know why, and it seems to happen at random, though it appears to be more common when browsing remote folders rather than local ones. This can also happen when command+tabbing back to the finder, it will simply put me in my home directory for no reason. 2. When initially starting the computer then loading up Safari, sometimes cmd+l to open a web location will cause Safari to quit. There's no dialogs, no errors, no crash reports. It just quits and that's it, reminds me of the behavior I get in Linux when a GUI app segfaults (though in Linux at least I can see an error message in the status console). This is the more annoying behavior by far, as I have to play around a little to get it working correctly again. Sometimes moving to the address bar with the VO cursor will fix it, sometimes not and I have to unlink the cursors and then click the mouse on the address bar. Has anyone seen either of these behaviors before or did I mess something up somehow? I'm wondering if it might be time to give my Mac an OS reinstall.
