Was thinking we could collect som glitches and user interface quirks in macOS Ventura that don't really break things, but makes the experience less enjoyable.
Here are a few of my findings since going from Monterey to Ventura 13.1 the other day (some of these things was also present in Monterey):
Fixed (until it happens again…) by unplugging and reseating the USB-C cable to the display I use. Or chance (back and forth) of the refresh rate or resolution in System Settings > Displays.
I tried to do a screen recording of this using QuickTIme Player, but see it only captures 30 frames per second it was no good – looked as choppy on both videos. I'll try to make a recording of this when I get the chance so you can see what I mean.
I just came to think of that I posted videos here of how it was in Monterey. It's the similar type of hitchy movement I sometimes see in Ventura:
The jumpy cursor I haven't seen in Venture.
Locking the computer (without logging in) and waking it again gave me my custom desktop image:
More to be added when discovered.

1. Jumpy/hitchy movement of windows seems fixed since Ventura 13.3!

2. Mouse/trackpad pointer doesn't always update properly depending on what's underneath in Stage Manager.
This is classic problem in MacOS compared to Windows in my opinion. One doesn't seldom get the text selection pointer instead of the arrow pointer over objects where one definitely don't want to have the text selection pointer. Easy to reproduce in Stage Manager like in this screen recording:3. Custom desktop background set not always seen at the log in screen when waking computer from sleep.
Instead the default Ventura desktop background is shown. Seems to happen very randomly as most of the time the custom desktop is show.Locking the computer (without logging in) and waking it again gave me my custom desktop image:
4. Lack of a coherent spell correction working in all apps.
In ”native” apps (such as Text Edit and Notes) it works well with the built-in spell correction. But in apps such as Slack (Electron) it seems to recognize a word as being spelt incorrectly as in that it underlines it with a red line but when right-clicking there is no suggestion of a word to replace it. For example if I type Can’td it will get underlined with a red line, but a right-click gives not suggestion. If I correct it to Can't the red line goes away, so macOS knows the word has been corrected. Why not then show the correct word as a suggestion in the contextual menu (right-click)?5. Missing option to do RGB via HDMI from macOS
The option om tvOS should also be available in macOS as using YCbCr isn't always preferable and makes non-TV displays look pretty bad when connected via HDMI. How come it's not an option in macOS?More to be added when discovered.
