5.7 SP: endless forced quits after running utility application
 

After running Main Menu and clearing out some caches and logs, the latest versions of OW will not run properly. I constantly get the spinning beach ball of death, necessitating a forced quit. It was running normally, I believe, until running the update check. I also downgraded, to the penultimate SP version but to no avail.

Tried the old stand by: deleting preferences and the history index. Might I be missing something else? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

PS Back to 5.6, which is running normally.

PPS Am using 5.7 again but still get the same issues if using sneaky peaks dated after 11/27.

Can you get us a sample of OmniWeb while you're seeing the spinning beach ball? You can do this from within Activity Monitor.

Launch Activity Monitor.
Find and double click on OmniWeb in the list.
Wait for OmniWeb to start spinning.
Click on the sample button.
Save the sample to disk and send it to [email]OmniWeb5@omnigroup.com[/email] with any other details you may have noticed. We'll look into it as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I'll be sending in that sample now. Thanks, Troy. All SPs were working normally.
The only thing that comes to mind is I recently installed Main Menu; after running it to clean caches and history, the updated SPs stopped working.

Now I can get the latest version to work, but only after the SBOD has run its course. Not normal and well beyond my usual patience.

Sorry, Leopard Mail seems to have lost the ability to add attachments!

PS I squashed that bug and sent you the report. In Leopard Mail, you may have to make sure a message has either existing text (reply or composed message) or that you hit return once in any empty message to insert attachments (dragging does not work either). Seems Mail can't discern the end of a blank message.

OK, with the latest build all is working normally (thus far).
