New obnoxious problem: shyCal

shyCal Steven Frank of Panic (a company that must be a dream to work for) has noticed a problem that I’ve pretty much totally ignored but suffered through for a while now. He quite cleverly called it shyCal syndrome (I added the syndrome bit).

Rather than showing up in the middle of your screen where you’d see them, iCal develops a habit of displaying reminders on the left or right side of your screen. They’re not just near the side, most of the window isn’t visible as it’s off screen. The third time I had to move it into a usable position was infuriating.

Do any of you suffer from this issue? Or, better yet, have a solution?

I've had this problem since the 10.4.8 update. And yes, having to drag my alerts from the right side just to see them infuriates me, however, I must say I have paid better attention to the information they provide!

I thought this was a known problem with the 10.4.8 update. Strange thing is, for me, it affects my G3 iBook but not my G4 Mini.

I've also had this problem since the 10.4.8 "update". I figured I was being punished by Apple for still using a G4 iMac.

I've had this happening to me too, but I thought it was because I just moved to a 24-inch monitor.
