So, it turns out that in #macOS 14 #Sonoma, if you have a NSPopUpButton, and use removeFromSuperview and then later addSubview to add that item again to a view, macOS doesn't draw the button properly, until it gets clicked at least once.

(setting up said Popup is very expensive, as in "slow", in the app in question, so for 15 years, it was a working idea to keep it around)

Awesome.

Yet another #bug in the long long list of massive problems in the #AppKit system frameworks in #macOS14.

Oh my, #macOS14 , the gift that keeps giving.

Not only has it more bugs than ever, its File Sharing is slow as molasses.

Oh come on, #Apple, how about some bugfixes and software improvements?

We don't want #AI or such useless crap, we urgently need a snappy and stable operating system.

macOS 14 is neither. Really.

Gosh, #macOS14 "Sonoma" is such a #buggy dud, #Apple should have waited at least another 8 to 10 months before releasing it.

What a slow nightmare:

Stay away from macOS 14 as long as you can!

#Apple once took great pride in having a truly great user interface and user experience for #macOS.

These days are really long over.

The user interface of #macOS14 "Sonoma" is even worse that the duds we had with #macOS13 or even #macOS11

We very much love how careful #Apple is crafting the important new "security" notifications in #macOS14 "Sonoma"

What the heck does that even mean?

Where is the documentation for this dud?

MacOS be like "We updated you to the latest version. We also updated your chosen wallpaper to our default wallpaper."

If #iOS18 / #iPadOS18 / #watchOS11 / #macOS14 only add one feature next year it should be smarter, synced notifications.

If I reply to an email on my Mac, the notification should disappear on my phone.
If I dismiss a FindMy notification on my phone, why is it still sitting on my Mac when I get home HOURS later?
If I complete a Reminder on my Watch, I don’t need to see the overdue notification on my iPad.

Firefox in macOS Sonoma has 2 bugs inhibiting use of Emoji & Symbols character viewer irritating me the last few days.

The new shortcut (🌐 E) drops an “e” into text input.

The old shortcut (^ ⌘ Space) opens and immediately closes the character viewer.

Did anybody notice that VNClassifyImageRequest in #macOS14 returns significantly different results from previous versions?

I am not sure if this is good or bad, but it is very different...

Is that a documented change?
I couldn't find anything in the documentation so far...

Snippets Studio 2.1 is out! Here are the changes in this update:

• Underlying changes have been made to Snippets Studio to make it easier to implement new features in the future.

• The onboarding and what's new experience has been redesigned.

• A few UI changes have been made and a couple of bugs have been squashed.

• The third column now displays Languages and Tags when clicking the manage button in the sidebar. Previously, Languages and Tags would appear in a sheet above the rest of the app. (macOS)

Frankly, the new "Wallpaper" "System Setting" in #macOS14 #Sonoma is the most confusing piece of horrible interface design I have ever seen.

And that is compared to the rest of the utterly confusing and ugly "System Settings" which is an entire textbook full of interface violations, inconsistencies, and how-not-to's in its own.

Sigh.

Oh dear #Apple, could you spare a few bucks to hire a human interface designer for once, maybe? Pretty please?

cdfinder, 7 months ago to apple

#macOS14 #Sonoma is the #bugfest we all feared it would be.

After installing the release version, I now get this refreshing nice display in the ugly "System Settings".

I have no idea what that means, or what is causing this, of course.

It has been busy for 30 Minutes now, I guess it is time for lunch for me.

Nice job, #Apple!

The URL to the full installer of the release version of #Apple #macOS14 #Sonoma is:

https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/26/09/042-58988-A_114Q05ZS90/yudaal746aeavnzu5qdhk26uhlphm3r79u/InstallAssistant.pkg

This PKG, when run, will create the "Install macOS 14" app in your Applications folder, from which you can copy it to your other Macs, and your backup, just in case...

To actually really install macOS 14 on a Mac, run that Installer app in /Applications.

It is always a good idea to keep the full installer around...

cdfinder, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to apple

So, the most important new feature in #macOS14 #Sonoma, according to the Apple web site, is...

TADA!

"Stunning new screen savers".

RLY?

Wow. We have been waiting for that for so many years. Surely. Didn't you?

Where are the bugfixes, #Apple?

Anybody know if it’s possible to get the fancy new SwiftUI ScrollView modifiers to apply to List?

In particular I’m looking at defaultScrollAnchor(:), which was called scrollPosition(initialAnchor:) back at WWDC.
