I'm having trouble with the "share" selection in Safari6 (File>Share>Email this page) which replaces the old "Mail the contents of this page" option.
It invokes a new email and allows you to enter an address, but the process is very slow, and on two occasions I have experienced the spinning ball instead of the web page loading. This also happens if I have selected Reader and then click the email icon at the bottom.

I used the Safari 5.2 beta (which became Safari 6 at WWDC) since the first beta. The update star was gone from Top Sites way back in February. It's not a bug, it is simply gone, just like RSS.

"there's a minor glitch with the apps' Top Sites feature. The white star that should appear in the corner of a listed page, when the page gets updated, no longer shows up"

This is probably an intentional side effect of removing RSS from Safari (from the OS, actually). The detection of the update was done by checking the site's associated RSS or Atom feed. Without RSS support, it now has no accurate way of checking whether the site's been updated.

I'm actually liking Mountain Lion a lot more than Lion. I never used Lion much. I'm glad I installed it on a separate partition from Snow Leopard. Since installion ML over Lion, I've not gone back to SL yet.

But the bug I've experienced is with the screensaver. I set the top right corner as my hot corner to start the screensaver. It works fine unless I play Diablo III in full screen. If I play in windowed mode, this isn't an issue. After quitting the game, the hot corner is no longer hot. The fix - I have to go into preferences, turn off the hot corner, turn it back on and then the screensaver works like it should.

I've been experiencing a seemingly random bug where gestures--particularly the three-finger swipe left-right to get to another screen or the three-finger up-down to see Mission Control--stop working altogether. The only solution has been a logout/login or killall -kill Dock in terminal. Apparently others are having this issue according to recent forums.

Is it really true that in ML you can't get rid of the "Notifications" icon in the Menu bar? Please don't try to tell me it's a feature. It's a bug!

Here is my bug:

In Mail, when I go to the sidebar and I look at the Archive folders, I have three "On My Macs", but only one shows the folders nested within it. If I use the Message --> Move to menu option, all three "On My Macs" show the nested folders.

Very strange.

I did call Apple and they could not help me.

In Mail, can someone please explain why the date has moved from the left hand side of an e-mail where it used to be with "From", "To", "Subject" and now appears on the right hand side on its own? Now, instead of nesting all relevant information together, a crucial part of an e-mail (it's date and time of receipt) is flung onto the other side of the page. Why? It's so tiring to keep glancing across to find out this highly important information.
I'm using the Classic Layout.

What about the dismal battery life and thermonuclear heat/incessant fan activity on MBA after updating? Am I the only one with these issues...?

I have experienced the same. It is really annoying to hear the fan without heavy CPU load. I hope we will see a fix in the near future.

Thanks for elucidating this, even if "probably." This seems to be another indicator that RSS was removed without a serious (enough) consideration. It's removal from Safari seriously upset my daily routine, which involved using several RSS pages as a hub to skim article title/header info and so pick the ones I need to read—for which Safari alone worked just fine and ML killed that.

It seems like this is another Mountain Lion "feature" It's still possible to move menu bar icons around and even pull them from the menu bar by Cmnd-pressing the menu icon and then dragging it... But, not "Notifications" and not "Spotlight." Plus, the former takes up about twice the room of a usual menu bar icon!

Does anyone know what does Opt-clicking on the "Notifications" menu bar icon do (besides toggling its grayness)?
