Users of macOS 26, also known as Tahoe, are experiencing difficulties with window resizing, a problem attributed to a design flaw by Apple. The issue arises from the larger corner radiuses, which misalign the expected click area for grabbing window corners. Previously, the active area for resizing windows was mostly contained within the window, but now approximately 75% of it lies outside due to the new design.
Developer Norbert Heger highlighted this discrepancy, noting that the instinctive click often fails because it occurs in an area that does not respond to user input. This change has led to confusion, as the rounded corners visually mislead users into thinking they are interacting with the correct area. Commentator John Gruber echoed these sentiments, pointing out that the scrollbars also reflect this design inconsistency.
The adaptation to macOS 26 has sparked ongoing discussions about its usability and design choices, with many users calling for a resolution to the resizing issue. This design controversy appears set to linger as more users navigate the challenges introduced by the latest update.
