As often, this is due to changes in the underlying Qt platform that seem 
to exist only on certain versions of OSX. We have had this problem 
before, and there are other issues about Cocoa versus whatever versus 
whatever else. It is difficult to test every combination, and we have 
only a couple active OSX developers. Many of them use trunk (2.1.dev) 
for obvious sorts of reasons. So, well, we could really use a couple 
people who could test the OSX version on a more regular basis. I use the 
2.0.x branch, on Linux, for all my work, so I always have the latest 
updates, and the latest bugs, too ;-) Lots of Linux people do this, and 
so we always have a very up-to-date picture of how things are there. As 
a result, there are rarely surprise bugs on Linux. If you can compile, 
then it is actually very easy. Check out the 2.0.x branch via git, then 
compile it manually or set up a cron job to keep it up to date, if you 
really want to be hi-tech.

As Scott said, we will release an updated version shortly. There's a fix 
for this issue already in branch, if you want to check that out, though 
it apparently causes other problems. For now, you may want to go back to 
2.0.6.
