• When typing immediately after clicking Reply in a Mail message, all
characters typed before the Reply window appeared should now appear in
the window.
• In Mail, opening an attached Pages document could lead to an
unexpected "Name of document may contain an application" alert - this
update addresses the issue.
• Sometimes Address Book subgroups (groups within groups) might not
sync correctly during .Mac syncing - this update addresses the issue.
• Addresses an issue in which Mail might unexpectedly quit after
pasting a large graphic into a message and then typing text just before
the graphic.
• When deleting text in a Mail message window, sometimes some of the
undeleted text could unexpectedly move to the beginning of the message
- this update resolves the issue.

from appearing in a Mail message.
• Addresses an issue in Mail in which an entire line of text could be
inadvertently deleted when deleting a link at the end of the line.
• Resolves a potential issue in which Mail could unexpectedly quit,

/Library/Mail/Bundles - this update prevents previously-installed

• Updates Mail to handle IMAP prefix paths that start with "/" better.
Dashboard widgets
• Improves Dashboard widget compatibility with third-party mice with
scroll wheels, and also for PowerBook G4 computers that feature
trackpad scrolling.
• You can choose from three font sizes in the Dictionary widget after
installing this update (regular, large, and extra-large) - click the
"i" button to access the Font size pop-up menu.
.Mac, iSync, and syncing
• Addresses an issue for .Mac syncing in which the alert "cannot
login to the .Mac sync server" could unexpectedly appear when clicking
the Sync tab in .Mac preferences.
• You can now add a Motorola V180 mobile phone in iSync 2.0 with this
update.
• Improves iSync 2.0 compatibility for Motorola V551 mobile phones.
• With this update, the default option for the first sync for a
mobile phone added to iSync 2.0 is now "Merge data on computer and
device," though the "Erase data on device then sync" option is still
available if you need it. (Click here for more information.)
• This update allows you to register a computer for .Mac whose name
(in Sharing preferences) contains an ampersand ("&").
Safari, iLife, and other applications
• With this update, Safari no longer unexpectedly quits when
Control-clicking (or right-clicking with a multi-button mouse) some
kinds of PDFs or graphics within a Safari window.
• Addresses an issue where iPhoto could unexpectedly quit.
• iDVD no longer quits unexpectedly when hiding it while burning a
DVD or saving a disc image.
• With this update, DVD Player no longer unexpectedly quits when
opening if Turkish, Central European (Czech, Polish, Hungarian),
Cyrillic (Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian), or Greek is the primary Mac
OS X language in International preferences.
• With some printers, when printing a PDF webpage file that had been
saved from Safari (with the Safari printing option "Print webpage
information in headers and footers" deselected), only a gray bar would
print - this update addresses the issue.
• This update addresses an issue in which text in a TextEdit document
with lists could disappear (even though it really hadn't). (Click here
for more information.)
• Addresses an issue in which iCal could unexpectedly quit after you
receive an iCal invitation in Mail (and the invitation doesn't appear
in iCal).
• Improves compatibility for Dreamweaver MX 2004 when double-clicking
results of an XML validation, and when using "Launch & Optimize" with
Fireworks MX 2004.
• Users who subscribed to iCal calendars with long names or special
characters, and that were published under Mac OS X 10.3 before
upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4, will now see changes made in calendars
under Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
• Includes reliability and compatibility improvements for Motion 2.0.

Other enhancements
• When using the FileVault secure erase feature, the progress window
now states "Deleting old Home folder" when securely deleting files from
their original location (instead of "Unmounting FileVault"). Note that
this option may take a while to complete, during which you shouldn't
force-restart your Mac. (Click here for more information.)
• Improves security by disallowing files, applications, and webpages
from being opened at the password prompt that appears when waking from
sleep or stopping a screen saver (which can be enabled in Security
preferences).
• Addresses issues that could, in certain situations, prevent you
from opening (mounting) a disk image that's shared by a different
computer (in /Network).
• Improves menu scrolling behavior for third-party mice with scroll
wheels, and also for PowerBook G4 computers that feature trackpad
scrolling.
• Addresses an issue in which clicking a Help button or choosing an
item from the Help menu would take you to the main page of the
application's Help content, instead of a more relevant page.
• Some third-party wireless DHCP servers might not provide an IP
address to a computer through AirPort if the computer has a long
computer name - this update addresses the issue.
• Resolves a potential issue that could occur when moving from one
access point to another within the same wireless network - the IP
address could have been lost and not restored unless the DHCP lease was
renewed or the computer put to sleep and then awakened.
• Improves reliability when using the Active Directory plug-in.
• Improves the Mac OS X 10.4 Keyboard Setup Assistant.
