I strongly dislike that icons are boring squares now. I thought the previous form was way more fun. Some organisation, as most of them were squares, but still freedom for some nice effects. Really liked the Zotero icon for example.

Are any of you folks having trouble with MS Word quitting without showing the Save Dialog Box:



I have the following checked in Desktop and Dock:


And other apps are showing fine. I am on MS Word Version 16.99.

Just did a test. I opened a blank document, typed some stuff, and ⌘q.

Word just closed and the document wasn't saved. Ouch! Also 16.99.

Word 16.99.1 was pushed a couple of days ago, maybe they fixed this? I tried to reproduce without success, it did pop a box asking me to save. (...But I am still on Sequoia.)

I'm actually on 16.99.1 - I just didn't bother to type the last bit in 😁

So, unfortunately, it didn't fix it. I've just switched to the "beta channel". Let's see what that brings ... (will edit)

So exciting! Now running 16.100. Didn't fix the issue, though!

Yep, I updated to 16.99.1, and no fix. I removed all files associated with Word using AppCleaner. Restarted twice. Reinstalled Word, restarted again. Opened Word, and no love 👎

So, comforting to learn I'm not alone🤔

I did not have the issue on Sequoia.

Yeah that's weird, then, seems to be a difference between Sequoia and Tahoe. Hopefully they get that sorted out before the Tahoe proper release.
