MP 1,1-5,1 Display (and other) weirdness between macOS versions

[mattspace]

So a 24 hour experiment in trying out Mojave...

• Safari on Mojave can't see the iCloud tabs, or browsing history from another High Sierra machine, or from iOS 12 devices (odd because Mojave / iOS 12 are contemporaries), nor does it push synced iCloud tabs or history to them. Those other devices still show up the Main machine's last High Sierra iCloud Tabs. They all sync and update each other fine. BUT bookmarks and reading list DO sync and update fine between Mojave & High Sierra / iOS 12.
• Mojave recovery displays black screens on all my displays, until I unplug my two displayport displays, then my main HDMI display lights up.
• Wake from Sleep - much faster on Mojave than High Sierra, but the Main screen connected with HDMI is dead on wake, requiring a physical cable unplug and replug to show up (Sapphire Pulse rx580). The other two displays on displayport show up fine.
• Quicklook zooming is broken. In High Sierra, I can select an image of any size, quicklook, drag the QL window to a separate display, expand the window a bit, then zoom to full screen, and then every subsequent image I select is zoomed to full screen. Mojave, it goes straight back to native size on the second image.

How do people live like this? "We put more advanced locks on your house, but we replaced your sofa with a church pew."

Yeah and that's why I stick to Windows 10/11 on my Macs these days. The UI might be old and new in places but man is the NT kernel so stable. It wasn't always like this. Remember Vista?

Since Windows 7 the NT kernel has better than XNU. Windows 10 made it even better.


macOS is a joke. You think Mojave is bad, wait till you see Ventura.

Are you using Ventura? Please share your issues with it.
