Hey guys, please forgive me if this is a known issue or change, but has anyone else noticed that when going into exposé and switching between apps, I used to be able to just place the mouse over the app and hit the exposé button again and it would go to that app. Now I have to manually click on the app instead or it will just go back to the app I was on. Anyone experience this or no a way to change it back to the old way? Thanks again!

I actually didn't know you could re-press the F3 button to select the window where the mouse is hovering. :D

Just tried it in 10.11.6. Nice feature.

I hope they don't change it in the final build of Sierra.

Yeah haha, I use it as a fast way to multitask between Windows and it's a habit now lol. Its jarring that they changed it. Hopefully it's a bug but this far in the beta process, I'm getting concerned it isn't.

They rewrote the whole thing in Swift, so probably they didn't notice some behaviours of the previous version. In this case, it's always a good idea to send a bug report or a feedback.

Plus: I'm almost certain that years ago, an early pre-release of Mac OS X allowed 'expanded previews' of windows whilst hovering over the underlying (invisible) positions of non-expanded previews. That's probably not a good written description, but the effect was intuitive and very pleasing.

The feature never made it to golden master and when I later asked Apple to retry the feature, no-one could recall the feature.

I thought the "under the hood" graphics changes were implemented in El Capitan?

Hi, do you have any further info on this, developer docs etc?
