that you can't reproduce the bug, doesn't mean that the bug doesn't exists.
and btw you OS is far out dated.
As others wrote, this is obviously a bug, so you be happy, that you
don't have this problem.

please write understandable English - thank you.

as I said before, this problem doesn't occur with software I use, so I
hardly can blame Apple for that.
Additional for filing a bug, I'd need to know, which API is used.
I think that would be the job of ctmdev and not mine.
Thanks and all the best

Mattias, I have not said it doesn't exist. That's NOT my style of
responding. OK?
But if I can't reproduce it means it's not a bug that exist in every
installation of PowerMail, right?

It is a bug, yes, but in order for us to have any hope to have this bug
fixed, it would be advised that someone finds out whether this bug due
because of some fallacy of PowerMail or if its an OS-caused bug. I'm not
sure how CTM looks at it, but as PowerMail is NOT the only application
in known history to have this problem, it's probably safe to assume that
we can not be satisfied crying wolf to CTM will solve things.
At a minimum, CTM would need to able to reproduce the bug. It seems to
me, with earlier responses at hand, that there seem to not be one clear
cause behind different peoples hiding problems with PowerMail.
>and btw you OS is far out dated.
That's really 100% beside the point. Didn't this bug exist with 10.4.8?
Earlier reports have indicated it did exist with this version.

the problem with this bug is anyway, that it doesn't occur always.
And I'm not sure, if Chris' "workaround" with opening a blanc window
really works.
It never came to my mind that the problem might be related to open a window.

For me PM is in the moment the only app with that problem.
I had before problems with some apps from Adobe, but it seams they don't
have it anymore.
So too me it looks like that PM is the only app left with this problem.

(that saying isn't from me)

I don't know what really is the source of the problem, the Carbon API
used by CTM, the implementation or something else.

actually I don't remember when this issue was introduced.
I just avoid hiding PM since some time now, because force quit quite
often requires an index rebuild and that takes time....
Anyway, I'd update to 10.4.11, else you miss all the security updates
and that is a security issue.
Thanks and all the best
Matthias
