Diagnosing a menubar crash / lock-up problem
Authored by: mzdial on Nov 04, '03 11:04:47AM

Rob,

I'm having the same problem [10.3 Panther] as you where if I forget/walk away when I wake my PowerBook from sleep and the password dialog goes away -- I'm stuck with a locked up machine. It will fall back asleep and when I try to awake it, it'll just give me the beachball and spin forever.

I've not had it lock up the machine on a forced reboot, so I'm fortunate in that aspect. I've submitted the bug to Apple, hoping to see this annoying one squashed!

-- Matt

vacuums do not suck. they merely provide an absence that allows other objects to take the place of what becomes absent.

Return from sleep beach ball

I have that same issue on occasion. I've seen reference to it on Apple's discussion groups so it's a known problem. Fingers crossed for a patch.
