1. My Safari bookmarks were not up to date where I left them (no biggie
- I don't use Safari much and only noticed because I do use it for
Netflix - the bookmark that was missing).
2. Forced re-inscription to iCloud during first boot.
(Same on my SO's MBA).
3. All the things I set to NOT go to iCloud were clicked active
(Same on my SO's MBA).
4. Dock icons were flying all over the screen whenever I hit the dock -
this occurred a few times but haven't seen it since last night.
On the plus side my USB 3.0 disks aren't spontaneously ejecting as much
as they were before. Still happens - just less often. (I hope I'm not
premature in saying that)...
I suspect the rush to release the fixed goto/goto bug may have left a
lot of cleanup for 10.9.3...

There wasn't any point in Apple doing a rushed release of 10.9.2, as they could have just done a targetted security update for 10.9.1, and stuck to the original schedule for 10.9.2 (or delayed it a week). Based on the timing pattern of reports of rumoured developer releases in the last few weeks, it looked like Apple was getting ready to release 10.9.2 soon anyway, so the gotofail fix probably got added to what would have been the public release anyway. Perhaps some of the issues you noted didn't show up in testing by Apple or developers, or if they did, Apple had decided they weren't worth fixing yet. Now to get on with my backup and install... -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

Mmm, that's God's punishment for using goto. I haven't used one of those since 1978, when I stopped writing FORTRAN. Well I lie slightly. When faced with Pascal for RSX-11 in about 1982, which lacked the return statement, I had to put a label at the end of the function and then goto that if I wanted an early exit. -- Tim "That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" -- Bill of Rights 1689

In 10.9 and 10.9.1 I'd only observed unexpected disk eject (both Firewire and USB 3.0) if the computer went to sleep while an external drive was connected (and it didn't happen every time). A nice related fix: 10.9.2 reinstates putting Firewire drives (including via the Thunderbolt adapter) to sleep after they are ejected. I haven't tested yet whether they also go to sleep when idle. It also seems that Mail has several more fixes, bringing it closer to how it behaved in Mountain Lion. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

On further investigation it does look like I've gained some old bookmarks in the Bookmarks Menu, but I think it was just a change in how the ones in the bookmarks folder were displayed. I rarely look in the menu so I don't know whether they were already there in a previous version. I did back up my bookmarks before installing 10.9.2, and that copy seems to match what I saw after installing 10.9.2. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

See other replies and comments - variable mix of similar and other
issues - did you see Kevin McMurtrie's post in "10.9.2 is out, by the
way...":
QUOTE
My laptop at work booted with both the internal and external monitor
backlights completely off. A forced reboot didn't fix it and the

worked after login finished.

Here it happens out of the blue while doing other things.
To be clear - I should have said "disconnect", not "Eject".
I've been on with Apple support at various times over the past 5 days -
getting kicked up the ladder at each pass. I've been running "Capture
Data" for them waiting for another disconnect... so of course it's not
happening ...

Just noticed another issue - my Message app on the Mac is no longer
sync'd to my iPhone. Gotta sort that out too.

Gotta sort that out too. Also not happening for me, and in any case, Messages on the Mac isn't "synced" to the iPhone - incoming and outgoing messages should end up on both devices via the server, but they don't directly sync the content of existing conversations. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

1. My Safari bookmarks were just as before — no problem there. 2. I also had to sign in for iCloud again on one machine, but second machine didn't. 3. iCloud had the same selections as before and the same items not selected. 4. No dock icon problems Another plus for me is that my Mail.app dock icon now has the correct number of unread messages showing; the incorrect, "frozen" number had been a minor annoyance before. -- Sandy
