UPDATE: Apple users are facing significant challenges with window resizing in the latest macOS Tahoe, impacting productivity and user experience. Reports confirm that the new updates, particularly versions 26.0 and 26.1, have led to widespread complaints about performance and design flaws.
Many users are expressing frustration over the new features, including the Liquid Glass design, which some find visually overwhelming. As of now, the issues do not seem to be limited to aesthetics alone. Numerous Mac users are experiencing difficulties with window management that have not been seen in previous iterations of macOS, notably macOS Sequoia.
Those running macOS Tahoe have reported that the corner areas of application windows are less responsive. Specifically, when attempting to resize windows by clicking and dragging, users often inadvertently trigger actions within the app instead. For instance, clicking the bottom left corner of Google Chrome may lead to unintentional highlighting of text rather than resizing the window.
According to Norbert Heger, a software developer, the problem stems from Apple’s design choice to implement rounded corners. In a detailed blog post, Heger explains that while square corners provided a larger clickable area—around 62% of the corner—rounded corners now reduce this to only 25% within the actual window. The result? A frustrating user experience as the clickable area has shifted predominantly outside the window.
As users navigate these resizing challenges, many are left wondering why Apple has not yet acknowledged the issue. The tech giant has not released any official statements regarding a potential fix, leaving users to adapt their behaviors until a patch is released. The expectation is that future updates like macOS 26.3 might address these concerns, but until then, users are advised to hover over the corners of their windows patiently until the resize icon appears.
For those who have not yet upgraded to macOS Tahoe, you can continue using your current version without these issues. However, the conversation around the new operating system continues to grow, with many users calling for Apple to rectify these problems swiftly.
As complaints mount, the impact on user satisfaction and productivity could lead to broader discussions about the quality of updates from Apple. The urgency for a patch is clear, and the community is watching closely for any announcements from the tech giant. In the meantime, users must adjust to the quirks of macOS Tahoe while hoping for a prompt resolution.
Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, and share your experiences with window resizing on macOS Tahoe. Your feedback could help bring attention to these pressing issues.
