macOS 26.3 RC breaks all borderless window interactions

After updating to macOS 26.3 Release Candidate, all interactions for borderless windows are no longer working.

In macOS 26.3 Beta, borderless windows behaved correctly: • Mouse clicks were received normally • Window dragging worked as expected • Interaction logic was fully functional

However, in macOS 26.3 RC, all of the above behaviors are broken: • Click events are not delivered • Windows cannot be moved or interacted with • The issue affects all borderless windows

This is a regression from the Beta build and appears to be system-level, not app-specific.

Environment: • macOS: 26.3 RC • Window type: borderless / frameless windows • Status in 26.3 Beta: working correctly • Status in 26.3 RC: completely broken

Could Apple confirm whether this is a known issue or an intentional behavior change in 26.3 RC? If this is a , is there a recommended workaround before the final release?

Thanks.

I can confirm this. Took me a while to figure out, but if you have a game in fullscreen mode, clicks on it will be interpreted as clicks on the Desktop background.

This is about the same issue - Apple confirmed the problem.
