#59632 — 10.9.3 Oddity

Finally upgraded my 2011 MB Air (10.7.5), 4GB memory to Mavericks.
Upgrade went very smoothly and took about 2 hours to download, install,
and optimize. Only one app was incompatible so that's not bad.

The oddity is that when I press the Power button to shutdown, I have to
hold it in for about 6 seconds before the dialog box appears. Under
10.7.5, just touching the power button resulted in the dialog box
appearing. Also, the response of the dock seems to be slow. Once the
dock has been activated once, the response is fast. My imagination or
what?

No, it's a "feature" that was altered in the new version of Mac OS X. 

Holding down the power button for a "short" time puts the computer to
sleep.

Holding down the button for a "medium" time starts the shutdown process.

Holding the button down for a "long" time performs a forced reboot.

Where short, medium and long are about 1, 3 and 5 seconds, respectively,
and where "starts the shutdown process" means bring up a dialog box
asking you what you want to do, and "performs a forced reboot" means
turns the power off immediately (without a clean shutdown).

3 seconds is about right for the dialog box (trial and error). However,
once I hit return the shutdown is almost instantaneous which is nice.
The other oddity, as mentioned in my initial post is the Dock. The
first time I access it it seems to hesitate before launching. After
that, launch is fast and quick like it was under 10.7.5.

Sorry, I meant Forced Shutdown ... got "reboot" on the brain thanks to
all the silly Hollyweird movies.

I thought this came in a while back, perhaps in 10.8 wasn't it? (I
notice the OP has jumped from 10.7)

I really meant "new version" as in the version new to the original
poster, rather than specifically 10.9, but checking the magazine I read
about this change in, it was apparently in Mavericks ... of course the
magazine could be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time they've said
something is new when it's been there for a while).
