I have no experience writing AppleScripts so I'm not going to try it. Besides, this is a very minor issue because all I have to do is click the Show Details button in the SU window. My impression is that this behavior is not a bug but has been deliberately designed into 10.6. Still, your suggestion about notifying Apple is a good one and I will do so.

I assume that Hal Itosis is on his annual hiatus. Hopefully, he'll see this thread when he returns. If anyone can tweak 10.6 to modify this, he can.
