unstable sorting and column positioning in search results
 

I'm "running" LimeWire on Mac OS X 10.2.6, and there are 2 problems I'm wondering if anyone can address:
1) when I try and sort search results in individual columns and then I try and select a file right after, the sorting undoes itself immediately, preventing me from selecting a file I've just "chosen." Why?!!
2) The columns in the search results window reposition and resize themselves at will.
Boy, this piece of software is so buggy. Help....

I notice you're using OS X. There are a few minor OS X bugs in Limewire which are mostly fixed in the jum build of LW for OS X. This can be found here: http://baghira.han.de/~jum/LimeWire.html

re 1--as long as results are coming in, the sorts will be unpredictable. It's easy to live with, and present even in jum's build. I could dig up his explanation if you are really interested.

re 2--huh? sorry--that's news to me.

LW is a tool in development, and a very sophisticated one. Were you in on the beta testing of Safari and iDisk and iMovie and iTunes too? Lots of bugs. Opensource development standards for apps are sure different from what we were used to with Mac OS
