Though most seem to be happy with Mac OS X 10.5.2, a select few, Steve Jobs apparently included, aren’t. Mac OS X 10.5.3 is on the fast track to release, as yet another developer build was seeded over the weekend.
While 10.5.2 had widely publicized bugs it was fixing, 10.5.3 has but one: WiFi issues, most recently exemplified when New York schools halted Mac shipments due to the issue. Two other issues it is known to have fixed are shutdown hangs and system mode issues. The others are anybody guess. Or anybody’s guesses, as the list of bugs fixed by this update is apparently longer than 170. This specific build, 9D22, fixes 15, and has no known issues.
Update: After this writing was finished, Apple released Build 9D23, adding 8 more fixes. Once again, no known issues.
Given the rapid succession of build releases, the consensus is that 10.5.3 will be available by mid-May. Perhaps this will give way for 10.5.4 in June?
Have you had any 10.5.2 issues? Or would you just like them to leave well enough alone? Sound off below.

actually, yeah, i've got one odd issue: i shoot a bunch of movie clips on my camera, drag them into finder and if there are a lot (like 20 or 30 or more little 10 second clips of my kids or whatever) and i pull up finder in column view then by default it shows a tiny thumbnail and clicking on one should show the larger thumbnail in the open column BUT what happens is that finder begins to flicker like crazy as it generates the thumbnails..like the whole screen flickers, then when it's done it's normal again..
Since installing 10.5.2 on my Santa Rosa MBPro, the infamous "first character typed in a field not showing up" problem has returned. This had gone away in 10.5.1, but is back again, at least for me.
I hope 10.5.3 addresses this minor annoyance.
