Why macOS Tahoe Makes Resizing Windows So Frustrating
1 minutes read
If window resizing feels trickier than ever on your Mac after updating to macOS Tahoe, you’re not imagining things. The latest update introduced more pronounced rounded corners to app windows, which unexpectedly shrunk the area you can actually grab to resize.
