macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess

    I don't know, there are definitely some rough edges (particularly with the menu bar for some reason - big rewrite there?), but overall I'm quite happy with Golden Gate. "Buggy mess" is some serious hyperbole.

    Of the issues they report:

    - The centering bugs seem... not very important.

    - The Mac User Guide looks fine to me. Shows "for macOS 27."

    - Network app?

    - Why are you looking at the Mission Control app icon at 20x zoom? And in any case, doesn't it seem reasonable to simplify the traffic light design to a flat circle for an icon that will be displayed very small 99.9% of the time?

    - Firefox bugs are bugs in Firefox. (I also keep experiencing the stuck menu bug, but again, Firefox bug.)

    - "You can find references to NeXTSTEP, the ancestor of macOS, in its UI!" No, that's not what that means.

    - "I have a folder open in the Dock. If I click on another folder, shouldn't that then open?" Yes, and it does.

    - The rest, sure.

      Firefox UI bugs are crazy. For example, on Tahoe 26.5, you can select disabled control menu items: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;7VUHzLK" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;7VUHzLK

      Anywhere else on macOS, you can&#x27;t do that. Even better, you can activate them with Enter.

        Interesting, that one actually seems to be fixed on Golden Gate.
