Unfortunately, we’ve gotten nowhere in identifying the cause. None of the devs can reproduce it. A lot of the users seem to have recently upgraded directly from 10.6 to 10.8, but I’m not sure if that’s true for all of them. It could be unrelated. > For the each of item in the Dock: > > 1. ctrl + click on the item > 2.

I thought the same thing, but numerous users have done the above and confirmed that both icons refer to the same application on disk. Also, if you leave the icons alone and simply restart the Dock, the second one goes away, which wouldn’t happen if there were two copies running. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
