How about the one in Finder 7.0b4 where if you have a folder window open with
all your icons fitting  nicely inside the window (via the zoom box) and do a
'clean up desktop' that causes some of the icons to be rearranged and placed
in a row above the top row -- the scroll bars are not updated and you can't
scroll up to see the hidden icons. The fix to that is either to close the
window and reopen it or resize the window with the zoom box. Granted it's
a cosmetic bug, but it's still a bug. :)

Also, in 7.0b4, VM seems to cause more problems that it is worth. (I'm running
it on an SI without a co-processor). Some inits like Software FPU will not
run properly if VM is enabled. It thinks that I have a hardware FPU installed
(I wish :) ). What's in VM that changes the way the machine appears to
applications? The second implication is, how stable will it be in the final
version? Will it be at the mercy of improperly written applications?
(horrible thought!)

So are the bugs still there in 7.0fc2 ? (wow, the version numbers are moving 
along quickly!)
