Hi Alison,

First off, I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond to this. 
  Busy time.

I don't quite understand the bigger problem.  This is certainly  not a 
problem I have on other platforms.  Do other Mac users observe the same 
behavior?

As for the lesser problem, looking at the icons across the top in your 
screenshots, it would seem that you are using some kind of color theme 
that is different from a Mac out of the box.  Is that right?  If so, how 
does the software behave if you change the theme back to the default?

Cheers,
B
