Surely that is an extremely rare scenario. Personally, I've never seen it in real life.
- techdragon 5y agoI don’t actually care how rare this is, when you have a major feature of your Operating System like Fast User switching which can leave two accounts logged in simultaneously, then it’s inexcusable to not test under these basic scenarios. This is just more evidence of the systemic issues Apple has with maintaining software. Forgetting to test new features work with Fast User Switching is a failure to maintain the fast user switching feature of your operating system!
- tailspin2019 5y agoSadly "Fast User switching" seems to be full of bugs in itself (in my experience). It does seems to be a feature that gets very little testing or quality control. I'm not surprised at all if it causes issues with Universal Control.
- planb 5y agoRare? My wife and me use this all the time on the “living room MacBook” and universal control works without problems.
- randyrand 5y agoI use 2 users constantly on my mac. 1 for personal. 1 for work. I enjoy the hard separation. separate desktops. seperate windows. seperate instances of apps. seperate download folder. etc etc.
