macOS Tahoe 26.3 Beta 3 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

[Sniper08]

some changes improve some people's workflow.

also (imho), an OS should not be static, but can change to reflect tech advances, new ways of working, possibility...

This is a weird reply that doesn't pertain to what I posted or the topic at hand. What is your point?

Why are you making this point in response to my past positive and negative experiences with Apple support?

i don't understand. you posted something, i responded. pretty sure that's how a conversation on a forum works... 🤔

that quote 'every change breaks someones workflow' is the antithesis of progress (at least, i'd say so).

Yes, and I don't understand your response. I posted about my experiences with Apple support and how they have changed in recent years. You responded that workflows change with every change. I don't understand how your reply is relevant to my post, can you explain?

Has the column view bug with the scroll bars from 26.2 been fixed yet?

Now I'm seeing flickering displays - both Apple Studio 5K and the LG Ultrafine 5K.

That’s pretty useless too in my experience.

I have the 26.3 Tahoe and on M4 Pro Mac Mini - one game I use (a fitness app) runs poorly with bad frame rates.

Ah I see the post before about that…

macOS Tahoe 26.3 Beta 3 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

Noticed multiple reports of gaming performance regressions on this beta. Looks like Apple changed something with the graphics stack that is causing a problem. Obviously, this hasn't been "generally" released yet... Hopefully it gets fixed in short order.

I feel you.

I don't play many games on my Mac, but I did test 3DMark on my MacBook Air M4. With 26.3 beta 2, it just crashed. With beta 3, it works again. So it seems there have been improvements.

His Intel MacBook Pro doesn't have a 6900XT from AMD...They're most likely updating the drivers, there's major graphical slowdowns with Intel Mac Pros with AMD GPUs.

I'm seeing the glitch in an Intel only app on an ARM MacBook Pro M1 Max.
Gone again in 25D122

It's not useless at all. I've had Apple respond to me for issues many times in the past and actually saw changes in following releases. If they never respond to your feedback that means they either cant replicate (if they cant, they will ask to show how to get that issue via screenshots/video) it or its a common feedback and they will fix it.

That's the whole point of the Beta's, for people to submit feedback. I've even had Tim Cook's and Steve Job's offices reply to me via email for major issues.

Complaining only here on a forum will get you nowhere.

While most of us should know that Apple doesn't read the posts here for "work" related issues, I can honestly say that I haven't received a single response or reply to any feedback I've filed since sometime in 2019. I file bugs regularly and some are even so well known as being able to replicate.. I know complaining here will get you nowhere, but TBH, I've received better help from folks in this forum than I ever have from any official Apple resource.

on my MBAir M3, TouchID is not available after Lock/sleep. Normally there is a text below password field which indicates that TouchID can be used to unlock. It is not there after Lock/Sleep. Putting finger on Sensor does not unlock. Selecting another user and select back then brings TouchID back.

Similar issue on my M2Pro-Mini: Unlock with Watch still works but most of the time it does not kick in.

I am seeing the same problem. It also happens for me when the screen locks, making selecting a diferent user for a moment is not an option. Otherwise the touch ID works as expected for accessing Passwords or ApplePay. The text indicating a password is required to enable touch ID at startup also remains as expected.

Beta 26.3 RC fixed my issue with not being able to daisy-chain two Thunderbolt monitors. I had to switch the 2nd monitor to HDMI for a few weeks. With the update to 26.3, it is back to working with a Mac Studio TB -> TB Monitor 1 -> TB Monitor 2...

But, RC also broke my Music - not able to load, not able to use at all...

Can anyone confirm the speaker icon wiggle (and misaligned) have been looked at?

Even without the wriggle ... liquid glass is the stupidest UI I've seen on a mac. I don't know what Apple's doing. Apple doesn't know what Apple is doing.

lol - I actually like it. The worst, IMHO, is standing still and not developing a UI.
