Option click in 1.1b2 doesn't close all notices

I got excited when I saw that in the release notes, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Any trick to enable it?

What display style are you using? Are you clicking the Close button or the notification itself?

AboveTheNight, and I've tried both repeatedly. My latest tactic is to stop and restart Growl rather than click through all the notices.

Try it with smoke or bubbles.

Tried with Smoke, same issue both clicking the notice and the (x). Anything special I need to be doing?

I can't make it fail. Option+Click on the 'X' on any style closes all notifications for me running 1.1b2. Is it possible you're still running b1? Try stopping and then restarting Growl from the system preferences pane.

Odd. Switching style then stopping and restarting Growl seems to have resolved the issue.

BTW - a HUGE thanks for implementing this feature. Now that it's working, its minimized what was becoming an enormous hassle.

Growl kicks ass, gentlemen. Talked to Apple about getting it distributed with the OS?

It's licensed so that they wouldn't even need to ask us, they can just snag it (or just parts of the code for their own uses).

That said, I think Growl is way too complicated to be shipped on every mac.

Spoke too soon. I haven't figured out the exact triggers, but twice now I've come back to my machine after a a few hours of idle time to find 3+ rows of sticky notifications (Mail, NNW, Adium, Twitteriffic, custom notices from remote apps, ...) that do not disappear with option+click. The screen saver was active and required a password to deactivate. Again, this is with AboveTheNight.

Could it be the interaction with the screen saver? Or the large number of notices? I'm heading out again for a bit, and will leave Smoke as the style to see if it makes a difference.

EDIT: I just recalled that a few of the notices each time were sticky by design, rather than just as a result of idle time. Don't know if that matters.
