macOS Tahoe still terrible with bugs even with 26.2

Sometimes viewing a contact, the screen will not scroll with the Apple Trackpad. You have to get out of it, or click another contact, go back to the contact before and now you can scroll. LMAO!

Outlook not opening? Sounds like Microsoft didn't do their homework and didn't get ready for the new OS with the betas. I feel your pain, but this one's not necessarily an Apple problem.


The rounded corners aren't a favorite with many people, although some people don't seem to mind, as evidenced by the threads of this forum. Please complain to Apple—they have a feedback form.

You can easily change the wallpaper, so no need to complain about that. I don't find the default wallpaper so great, either, but that's why users are given settings to change things. You have options.

As for the notch, that's not an OS problem—it's a hardware matter. It shouldn't affect your daily use of the machine. I'm not sure why you are complaining about ports, either.

When it comes to tech stuff, there are things you can change, things you can learn to live with, and things you can complain about to the manufacturer. Of course, you can gripe about it here, and you'll find company—there are plenty of people who are very vocal about the new OS. It won't help your situation, though. Good luck.

Oh, I agree. And fully realise the distinction between software and hardware. It was more a gripe of the compounding issues that drive me up the wal.

There is no choice except to lump and live with the foibles Apple casts upon us. Apple giveth, and Apple taketh.

I’ve been running into some pretty frustrating bugs lately on macOS 26 Tahoe, and I’m curious if others are seeing the same thing. I got to say in terms of bugs, this is the worst macOS version Apple has ever released, worse than Ventura was three years ago! I have had it with macOS Tahoe. The speed of the OS is fine but not the stability. The fact that users do not report this stuff often is the main reason bugs like this don't get fixed quickly. Here are the apps I have been experiencing problems with.

Freeform: When I type in a text box, the sentence or a entire paragraph would keep duplicating whatever I type whenever I add a period or a slash. It makes even simple notes turn into a mess of repeated sentences. iOS 26 Freeform does not do that.
Journal: I type a long paragraph and sometimes the text switches sides of my typing cursor. But also, the app would sometimes freeze and become unresponsive, and when it does, entire paragraphs disappear. It’s happened enough times now that I can’t trust it for longer entries.
Menu Bar: The Menu Bar animations become choppy just because a app is on the right side of the line where the trash app is on the dock. So if there is a app next to trash before the line, the menu bar animations are more choppy. It's these little things that Tahoe has that makes no sense.

Seriously, why can't be even basic apps be functional to the user. I just want to create new ideas but these apps glitch too much. I want to downgrade back to Sequoia or even Sonoma which is my favorite macOS for Apple Silicon, how do I do it? Why doesn't Apple allow the user to downgrade easily like Windows? Has anybody else been having bugs in this new macOS? macOS 26.2 has not fixed much bugs for me in my experience.

You're running a beta, it's going to have bugs. If you are always running a beta release, this will never appear any better for you. I didn't even really have issues personally on any of the Betas, but all of my devices have been very stable and mostly bug free on public releases

actually probably very false, I suspect they (corporate apple) care very much about the median (or possible ,mean) user satisfaction but the tails of the distribution somewhat less

I can't even understand what you are saying.

you have never worked in qc or (t&e), the users form a population with a given distribution of systems for a symmetric distribution the mean (average) and median (the system at which equal number of users have more and less complicated systems) are equal. apple cares about the core user group more than the extreme complicated group

If Apple cared about the core user group then MacOS/iOS 26 would have never been released! Also there is no QC team at Apple. They release Alpha software.

I see a problem with the definition of core, it can be taken to be events between say 5 % and at most 95 % on the cdf (cumulative distribution function). I guess you can say an emotional versus statistical definition. remember we are all special

I wonder if anyone at Apple looks at the forums on here?

Or do they not give a sh#t?

There are people inside Apple who have to use this too.
I wonder if that is why rumors are the next OS release (27) will be more focused on performance & fixes, and less on new features? A la "Snow Leopard"?
(We'll see if that pans out.)
