Mac full screen , the tabs nav menu is pushed down, when hovering on mac menu. Weird behaviour. Is this intended

  Having same issue. Seems to be a bug.

  It's because on mac menu hover it also when it shows the application title bar (to close, minimize, etc). Others apps do that too, e.g. ST3. iTerm, however, choses to still drop the title bar and overlap the tab bar.

    Yes. That is the expected behavior.Hopefully they fix it

And still no way to horizontally scroll the tab bar. There are still some of us who end up with more than a screen's width of tabs, at times, especially on laptops. So, the rounded rectangles maybe nice, for some, and all that. But, how about some actually useful functionality, there? "Design" -- meh.

  This is so frustrating. I keep trying to use Safari just for this alone.

Mac re-design sure looks like a 3rd party Firefox theme from 2014. I know it's subjective, so that's my personal opinion. But is it in line with Material design? Or is Chrome not subject to these guidelines? If you open settings, or downloads window in Chrome, you'll see it has blue bars, rounded edges, shadows. Compare to this re-design, large radius rounded edges, entirely flat looking buttons and inputs. I honestly though for a second I opened Firefox accidentally with another theme pre-installed.

They've removed `www.` from website url's in the address bar. Actually knowing if I'm on the www subdomain can be very useful, especially as a web developer checking if domains have been setup correctly. Reminds me of when windows started to hide file extensions by default.

  Maybe useful for you, but really not needed for 99% of users.

  This design decision can in practice create trouble with "mis"configured domains where www.example.com is in fact not the same as example.com. This is especially popular in traditional university domains where "university.xyz" does not resolve to a host but only "{www,mail,ftp,...}.university.xyz" does.
