Aqua Taskforce tracks UI quirks in Mac OS X

Aqua Taskforce lets you “find, publish, and rate user experience quirks in Mac OS X.” Some of the quirks already noted there are visual, like “QuickLook windows have a contrasting scrollbar“:

When you have a scrollable document in QL, its scrollbars are in a very contrasting scrollbar which does not match the the look of QL.

Others concern behavior, like “After deleting a file, the next file should be selected“:

In the Finder, after you delete a file with Cmd-Delete, there is no selection. At that point, if you press the down arrow key, the first file in the folder will be selected — not the one that had been immediately after the now-deleted file. This makes it very tedious to work your way through a large folder and delete files as you go.

It’s not clear whether they’re automatically filed as official Apple bugs in Radar, but it’s an interesting concept.
