Anyone's computer just deciding to log out? Mainly when I am watching a video it will log me out (and when I turn of the ability to go to log in screen it takes me to a blue screen) and then logs me back in. It started last week. And I had it for like 2 weeks or when every DP 2 came out.

Also having an issue where my Macbook Pro's num lock light will not turn off.

For everyone with the random log out issue, I think I know the cause. For me at least, the log out occurs when I press a function key (pause/play, forward, back, etc.) at the top of the keyboard. Is this the case for those of you with the issue? Aside from this, I'm not sure what's causing this annoyance.

I must say that the Developer Preview 2 is a lot more buggy then the first release, at least in my experience.. But some bugs have been resolved from the previous build..

The issues I'm having is wallpaper resetting on me, sometimes nothing happens when I try to shut down.. I often have to force quit applications..

I'm unable to run X11 based applications even after installing XQuartz, this again was not a problem on the first build..

Another problem is graphic glitches in some games, and in Safari aswell.. Just before a page will load I see graphic glitches..

I have a very annoying bug, which started because of totalfinder i think, bug i removed it and the bug is still here:
I cannot have a sidebar in the finder unless it's the first finder window open, and the keyboard shortcut (alt+cmd+s) is greyed out in the menu bar (view menu).
Any help??

i now have 3 new issues developed

1. from time to time i will get errors when my MBP trys to backup to my Time Capsule saying "Could not get status of Disk" normally 1 or 2 reboots of the laptop fixes this
2. from time to time random lockups or simply wont shut down
and my all time fav
3. i will be happly browsing the web or doing something else and suddenly my everything will freeze.... 2 minutes tops, and then i will have no internet connection as with number 2 shutting down my laptop becomes quite the pain, it is like it hits a set download limit and the net just crashes.... every other computer is fine so it leads to only an issue in ML. it can take afew days (i normally put my laptop into sleep) or say... im using utorrent.. then the internet will go down quicker

i have failed to meantion... and this is an issue i have had since DP 1... from time to time the finder bar will go black.

This might seem like an obvious question, but if can you check system preferences in "Security & Privacy", do you have the option to automatically log out enabled? If not, does disabling your screen saver workaround the issue? If you have a password prompt enabled when the screen saver kicks in, this could also potentially be an issue.

Yes, I had the immediate password box checked in System Preferences. I just turned it off and I'll see if that solves the problem.

Update: Nope, it didn't solve the problem. Function keys still cause the log out.

One bug I noticed it seems like Hot corners remain active even when in full screen game play, I've played arkham asylum and the hot corners I have set launchpad and mission control ( 2 lower corners) will activate during game play. I deactivate the hot corners and problem solved.

I also have the num lock light issue, key functions as normal but light will not go off until restart. seems to on in conjuction with caps lock but doesn't go out.:confused:

I have a theory that it happens to older Macbooks. Pre-Unibody. Is that what yours is? Mines late 2007.

Audio is not playing in Safari. Plays fine everywhere else.

Sometimes my Audio gets stuck... try going to utilities > Audio Midi Devices > Built in Audio > Click the drop down menu and select any of them and then you will here all the sounds that got stuck and that should fix it for a while.

Some serious bugs for me. Most importantly, I cannot get apple-gcc42 to compile at all.

That and Wine does not work under DP2. I have to boot into Lion whenever I want to play a Windows game (**** Windows, I dont want to boot into it)

In Safari, swiping back a page seems to be a bit funny...

Sometimes it doesn't load anything at all, but shows only a white page. From time to time, scrolling will make the page visible, sometimes you have to manually reload the page.

Sometimes the cursor is above where the 'real' cursor is, meaning it looks like a click on one link but get a link from a few inches further down. Sometimes the link isn't even visible on the screen.

Also, I can't add folders to Folders Action Setup...

I have two problems:
The first is the font size on the finder. I'm from 10 to 13, it always comes down to size 12 (it's irritating). Problem seen in the DP2 and DP3.
Illustrations:
when I open again the Finder window the font size has changed in the preferences but it remains at 11" : http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=120419070114185036.png
true size 11" : http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=120419065743728950.png
The second concern is related to Quicktime. When I read a media and that I advance the media several times the sound stutters. This problem present on DP2 and DP3.
