Apple Seeds First macOS Sierra 10.12.1 Beta to Developers

[revenire]

Since I upgraded, I am getting the beach ball when I start Safari (only when it is closed for a period of time and not if I close it and reopen it). Other than that, Sierra is working great on my iMac and MBP.

Anything noticeable fixed in this beta?

Yeah, it does (at least) launch on release 16A323.

Sierra breaks LibreOffice

Link please.

Roaring apps is roaring wrong. Verified on several machines. You can launch it and that's about it.

The bug where the window server no longer crashes when you use expose on a USB3 attached monitor (with DisplayLink driver) was fixed. It now crashes real good.
[doublepost=1474585608][/doublepost]Here's a great one. Launch Safari. Close the browser window so no windows in the application are open. Foreground another application. Click the Safari icon in the dock. The application will FG and a new window will open. Focus automatically goes to the combo URL/Search box. Normally, clicking in this box would open the Favorites sheet. This does not happen. It is now necessary to click out of the box, then back into the box, to activate the sheet. WTF!

I got to admit, you lost me on this. 'Focus automatically goes to the combo URL search box' - what does that mean?
'Click out of the box, then back into the box' - what 'box' are you talking about?

Clearly this would have been easier to understand if you made a video of what you're referring to because your terminology and the way you wrote this completely lost me

I made a document, but not a facepalm.

Please, can you be more specific? About the version of LibreOffice, not about the palming.

Fresh or still?

… It is not clear what improvements the first update to macOS Sierra will bring, but it's likely to include bug fixes and performance improvements for issues that have been encountered between the time between the beta testing period and release. …

10.12.1 build 16B2327e Seed Notes at https://beta.applebetas.tk with a form of wording that's standard for updates from Apple –

… improves the stability, compatibility, and security …

– nothing more specific in that copy of the notes. No focus area.

my second external display is no longer recognized. MacPro Mid 2015. 1 Display connected through thunderbolt and one via HDMI. It works with only with one or the other, but not together.

I did NVRAM/SMC reset and I unchecked "Automatic Graphics Switching" in Energy Savings preferences. Still nothing.

I hope Apple brings a fix for this. Anyone with ideas?

I was asking the question; the brief investigation that I've subsequently done suggests that Sierra does NOT break LibreOffice (at least in some locals). I'm planning to upgrade my iMac today to verify this...

Any developers remind me how to turn off beta updates? I ran the Sierra beta and have the final installed. I don't want to run beta updates. I want to install the general release updates. For some reason though, the beta update is showing in software update.

I don't have a profile installed either. Very strange.

On all the machines I've upgraded to Sierra (7), the latest version of LibreOffice will beachball when a new document is created. The only way to recover is to force quit.
