Why is it that after installing the X.1.1 update it takes longer to start up and my "snap to grid" on the desktop is allining all weird??(the HD icon, together with all other icons in the DT, is being placed one step on the left of where it should be!!!):mad: :mad:
...its like the grid has moved to the left or something....?? :confused:
 
I heard that the dock can cause this when it is located on the right side of the desktop. OS X tries to realign the icons so that they won't be overlapped by the dock.
 
I was thinking along those lines too, but I always keep the dock hidden when I dont need it so it makes no sense to align the icons one step to the left:confused:
 
...because it's a stupid and evil "feature". It should, as you suggest, not care about the icon placement if you've set the dock to hide, but I'd really rather that it not do any of this realignment in the first place. I prefer my dock to be on the right, pinned to the end, so that the trash is aways sort of where it belongs, but I've got to put it on the bottom now (still pinned, though).

I'm gonna complain to Apple, and I'd suggest that you do so as well (nicely, though :) ), although I'll probably not call it stupid and evil when I do so. Instead, a suggestion that there be a checkbox in the prefs page to "Allow dock to overlap desktop items" would probably be more appropriate...
 
I totally agree!! I put it there 'cos of the trash too!!

What e-mail add. do you complain to at apple???
