I have noticed this as well.  I think it's a bug in TeXShop.  The
workaround is to (1) re-typeset the document, (2) close the preview
window in TeXShop, and then (3) re-open the .tex document by dragging it
onto the TeXShop icon (in the dock).

I've seen a couple people mention something similar on the list.  I'm not
sure I understand what the difficulty is. You just press the key
combination to change to TeXShop (cmd-tab) and then press the key
combination to typeset the document (cmd-shift-L, if you're using LaTeX).
 I know in Alpha you just had to hit cmd-T, but it seems like one more
key stroke isn't too big a deal. Am I missing something?

cheers,
Jeff
