[OS X TeX] TeXShop for Jaguar/my Jaguar install crashed

[Richard Seguin]

I downloaded 1.20, and syntax coloring is still very slow, although it 
no longer hangs everything else up in the process. There was a problem 
with the viewer that seems to have been fixed. It seemed that when it 
first displayed a PDF document, the (page) forward button wouldn't 
work. For example, I could click it three times and I would still be on 
the first page. If I then clicked the back button once, I would find 
myself on page three. After that, both the forward and back buttons 
would work properly.

Did anyone else attempt an easy install of Jaguar and experience a 
crash during the installation? I couldn't boot from my hard disk after 
that. I then did a clean install with the archive option, and that 
worked, although it completely forgot my user id and password, and I 
had to sign in as super administrator and set up a new user directory 
for myself. I also wound up with a root directory called Library1 in 
addition to the normal Library. I moved my fonts from Library1 to 
Library, crossed by fingers and deleted Library1. Everything still 
works. Today I tried defragmenting my hard drive with Norton Utilities, 
and that crashed. Miraculously, I can still boot properly and 
everything works. I still have to reinstall teTex.
