Changes in Beta 5

[redheeler]

MikhailT, can you help to confirm if this happens on your machine? (I suppose it's >= DP4)
1. Open a Safari window in Space 1
2. Open a Safari window in Space 2
3. Now the active window is the one in Space 2, you can ⌘-T to create a new tab
4. Switch to Space 1
5. The focused window is still the one in Space 2, so ⌘-T will create a new tab in the one in Space 2
6. Even worse, ⌘-Tab to another app, say Finder, and switch back to Safari, it switched to Space 2 even there is already a window in Space 1 (This can be "fixed" by running "defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO", but the focused window is still in Space 2)

I have also been experiencing an annoying issue since DP4, related to yours. Can you reproduce this?

1. Open a Finder window on your main space.
2. Switch to another application on that space.
3. Switch to another space with no windows open, clean desktop.

It will immediately put the Finder window on the previous space in focus and switch back to it.

Edit: Thanks for the defaults write, which does prevent switching back to the space with the focused Finder window.

When you swipe with three fingers to switch spaces there is a huge graphical tear that only settles after the space has completely finished the transition.

Does nobody else notice this?

It's possible there have been refinements to the new font because it looks messed up in the context menus of Firefox 40 beta 8 but it didn't this morning (on the same Firefox beta version) before I installed El Cap Dev Beta 5.

Pop a beer instead . I am sure for every single annoyance fixed, they still have 2-3 of them open, and I mean a long term ones, not related to El Cap especially.

All that said, my download seems to stuck at 108 MB every time... Gotta try it again tomorrow, I suppose.

Still months from GM. Enough time to the exchange.

It happens to me, too. I think it's the same cause.

BTW, Disabling "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application" in Mission Control in System Preferences hasn't worked for me for a very long time, I have to use the defaults command.

Holy crap, that looks bad. I would've taken it in as a hardware issue if it wasn't a OS beta running. Yea, I can 100% say that has never happened on any of my Macs with El Cap.

Reminders and Calendar still not working for me in the notification today-view sidebar, although notification alerts work.

The stock ticker in Notification Center doesn't work for me either. It's stuck on data from last Thursday.

Interesting, my Dashboard space appears to have disappeared on one of my machines running El Capitan DP5 (but another also updated to DP5 has it).

Check your Mission Control settings. There is an option for dashboard to be Off, As Space and As Overlay.

I posted this fix in your thread, but here it is for reference:

"Easy enough to fix, was hard to find the "workaround" though.

I reinstalled El Cap thinking it was my system and since very few people had this issue. Turns out I was right, very few people have this because they have "displays have separate spaces" under Mission Control preferences set to on (and this is what happens by default when you install a fresh copy of OS X). I had it turned off, because I sometimes connect my Mac to my TV and like to mirror the content.

After turning it off in the fresh install and logging out, graphical tearing started happening immediately. Turned it back on, no tears."

Not a feature, but it seems that notification sounds don't work on beta 5. I'm not entirely sure why, but on my setup, I have sounds turned on for Mail and Messages, and regardless of whether I use my own sounds or the system options, no notification sound. Transmission still makes a sound, but I picked it in the app itself, so it may not be playing the sound itself.

Backups with Time Machine over wifi are not working in beta 5 for me.

Got that with Public Beta 2 on a Mid 2014 Macbook Pro with dGPU
