    Safari navigation scrolling buggy

    This started around the 3rd developer beta and i've submitted Feedback 3 times but it hasn't been fixed. Safari is REALLY difficult to use right now. You're scrolling down a site and see a link you want to click on. Well, Safari registers your click on some other element on the page...

    Sonoma doesn't remember external drive icon positions on desktop

    Prior to Sonoma, Finder always remembered my last drive icon positions on the desktop. I'm on a MacBook. It didn't matter if I had an external monitor connected, no monitors, or even two monitors...Finder would remember the last saved icon positions on reboot. With Sonoma, it *never* remembers...

    Safari changing brightness of videos being played when mouse is moved.

    Ok, posting this in case someone else has got this issue as Google hasn't led me to any other examples of this. I've got a really irritating problem that's started since updating my M1 Ultra Mac Studio to Sonoma. If I'm playing videos in Safari, e.g. YouTube, the brightness will change when I...

    5Ghz wi-fi stopped working

    I've had this 2018 Mac mini in the same location for over three years and never had any wi-fi issues, until yesterday when 5GHz started failing. After a lot of testing I found it was working fine with all other devices around the house, except this mini. As a further test I've just pulled an old...

    Resolved 2012 rMBP 15" crashing on Sonoma using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.1

    I am not sure if there is a better place to post this (The OCLP Github page does not allow to submit any feedback), so I will try here. Using the latest available version of OCLP 1.0.1 and updated my 2012 rMBP 15" to Sonoma which worked great. But now it ends up crashing at least once a day...

    I've just been typing something in Notes and autocomplete is completing words we spell with an 's' with the American 'z' spelling. I have checked System Settings and the default (primary) language is set to English UK. Mail is also affected. It only affects autocomplete, autocorrect isn't...

    Sonoma Screen Sharing Always Starting in Full Screen?

    The Sonoma screen sharing app seems to always start in full screen, no matter how I set the view or "scale to fit window" or if scaled or not, it just resets when I quit and restart. Anything I can do here or this intended behaviour rather than a bug? Thanks!

    Does anyone know if it's possible to add your iPhone battery status within the new battery widget for Sonoma? That seems like a pretty important battery metric that's missing.

    Sonoma changed Preview default save location to folder "printing.22832.3" which I can't find nor change as the default

    I do a lot of work in my office annotating and attaching signatures to faxes as PDFs in Preview. I'd long ago set the Downloads folder as my default for saving as that fit my workflow well. Now Preview saves edited pdfs into Printing.22832.3 that I can't even find in Finder. When I remember...
