Bug OS X 10.6.1 (drag & drop doesn't receive dropped items)

  • Thread-topic: Bug OS X 10.6.1 (drag & drop doesn't receive dropped items)

Latest OS X version, Mac Pro, permissions repaired and blah.

This is the code in a droplet:

on open x
    display dialog (count x)
end open

Many times it will display a "random" number. For example, I pick a folder
containing 36 pdf files, drop all them and see "32" or "34" or "22". In a
different disk, etc. I drop 51 random files (dmg, zip, folders, videos,
etc.)  and the dialog says "4" (?).

I chmoded all the files to 755, just in case, but same behaviour: random or
"strange" results. In the "51 random files" test, it will say allways "4"
and they are allways the same files: two folders, a dmg and a zip file. Why?
If I remove from the selection those 4 "recognized" items, then it will say
"1", choosing a random file in the dropped items.

However, this works fine:

tell application "Finder" to count (get selection)

Can someone replicate this issue? (some times drag & drop works fine, so you
may need a test with various different sets of files and folders).

Sometimes, as well, the number increases till it reaches the right count.
For example, if I drop the contents of my ~/Library dir onto the droplet, it
will say:

57

The next time:

58

The next ones:

59
59
59...

Similar issue with AppleScript Studio apps.
