> Yes, they work and are still smoother and less glitchy than Windows 11, but they feel like software developed by people who don’t actually use that software I would have to agree here (and Apple also don't seem to assess feedback for their GUI changes), but unfortunately this thread is already on a software quality meta tangent rather than listing individual annoyances so here's my short list in the hope actual bugs can be discussed: - window focus management broken: when you minimize or close a window, another random window of that app you're closing the window of is put into front even when that window is minimized; or other completely unrelated apps get focus - index/Spotlight not showing file locations (full paths) after searching; the fsck? - gestures being introduced that do stuff that you hit inadvertently and leave you in a state where you don't know how to undo its effects such as the super-annoying "fullscreen" mode when dragging windows around or pressing Command-F since Sequoia. Requires you to fscking research how to leave fullscreen mode (while not as cringe as Windows help "communities", the level of talking past another is getting there, options being discussed that don't exist in Sequoia's Dock/Desktop settings) - update or feature nagging (I don't care I could use my iPhone as a webcam right now, go away) - sometimes difficult to find mouse pointer on large screens - older problem but I know at least one person on the verge of leaving Mac OS because of it after 20+ years of loyalty (or outright fanboyism tbh): in a German locale, you can't switch off PC gender-neutral language which is not only pushy and annoying but also space-inefficient as fsck

For the mouse pointer thing: you can shake your pointer left and right rapidly, and it will increase in size. It's quite handy to find the pointer.

If this is the thread where we're adding gripes: - How tf does it take upwards of 5 seconds to take a screenshot with modern hardware on a fully updated OS. How. - And why do screen recordings sometimes randomly disappear into the bowels of the OS, where even Support struggle to find them?

> window focus management broken Although I do not mind the way that window management works on macos, recently I had a mildly infuriating situation. I was doing Cmd+Z to undo something, not sure which app and it didn't work so I pressed it a couple of times instinctively. But although my target app was visible and on top, it was Finder that was actually in focus - accidentally I triggered undo in Finder. I think I managed to undelete a file and something else, but I'm not sure. Not sure if there is a way to find a log of actions. That's something I would love to see in all desktop systems, a history of user actions. Also having undo/redo shortcuts in Finder is potentially destructive, what if I move some files from an SD card, reformat it in camera, and then accidentally hit undo in Finder?
