Resizing windows on macOS Tahoe – the saga continues

A bug Apple claimed to have fixed has mysteriously returned in the final release.

Deep Dive

A developer discovered Apple's macOS 26.3 Release Candidate fixed a long-standing window-resizing issue by making the clickable area follow a window's rounded corners. However, in the final public release, the fix was completely removed, reverting to the old, problematic square hitbox. The issue's status in Apple's release notes also changed from 'Resolved' back to 'Known Issue,' leaving users with the original frustrating and imprecise resizing behavior.

Why It Matters

This shows Apple's QA process can be inconsistent, eroding trust when promised fixes vanish before launch.
