Although this has now been fixed, the cost is that the menu no longer shows the charge level of either device when it’s being recharged.

This appears new in 12.0.1, and sometimes mitigates the Flying Pointer bug above.īig Sur had an annoyingly persistent bug in which the Bluetooth menu bar item had to be opened twice in succession to get the current levels of charge in trackpad and keyboard (again, Apple’s, not third-parties’). Despite that, I often have to tap quite hard to elicit a response.

Although these have improved to the level of occasional irritants, I can’t understand how Apple’s own devices can’t be used without these bugs getting in the way.Īs I use a trackpad as my input device, I set its Click (in the Trackpad pane, Point & Click tab) to Light. These appear to be part of long-standing problems with Apple’s wireless trackpads and keyboards, which can also occasionally result in the doubling of letters and other glitches. This can be coupled with the following bug, which mitigates it, as one of the double-taps isn’t detected at all. For instance, when I double-tapped a word in a document, the pointer flew up to another part of that window, usually expanding the window to the whole display area, just as if I’d actually double-tapped the title bar instead of the word.Īt first, I thought that Monterey had fixed this irritating bug, but it persists in a slightly less annoying form, in which the pointer still flies away before the first click ‘lands’, but not into the title bar. While I welcome your proposals, please be careful to outline how each bug can be reproduced, so that we can enjoy them for ourselves.īig Sur and earlier versions of macOS sometimes did strange things with routing taps from my Apple trackpad. This is by no means complete, and I’m sure you’ll each know of many that haven’t yet irritated me.

This brief survey lists some of those which have been niggling me since the release of macOS 12.0.1, with links to the more serious problems at the end. While plenty have already been fixed, there are still many to go. Monterey is a chance for Apple’s engineers to catch up with the backlog of bugs which have marred Big Sur and its predecessors.
