Recent releases in a period of years since I had OS Tiger, though I thing I was still using MPro on VRPC then and eventually that MPro (with Hermes being the probable culprit) packed up so I went to the OS X (& Win & Linux) MPro perhaps when I was on around OS 10.6.  My problems have been visible since perhaps 10.8.

Glad to hear you have not seen them.  I have no idea what was causing them.  And those problems are now not visible at all.
