Hi everyone,
I recently updated my Mac to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta and have encountered a strange issue with window management over a remote connection.
Issue: When connected to my Mac via Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD), I can no longer move application windows by dragging their title bars (outer frames).
Details:
Curiously, I can still drag and move individual tabs within apps (like Chrome or Terminal), which means mouse drag input itself is being transmitted correctly to the OS.
This issue only happens when attempting to drag the window title bar/frame over a remote session. Local mouse/trackpad control works perfectly.
Everything was working completely fine before the update to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta.
What I've tried so far (with no success):
Toggled Accessibility permissions off and on for ChromeRemoteDesktopHost and restarted the Mac.
Disallowed and re-allowed Screen Recording permissions.
Completely re-installed the Chrome Remote Desktop host application.
Disabled "Tile windows by dragging to screen edges" in System Settings to avoid snapping conflicts.
It seems like WindowServer or the system-level window management is blocking or ignoring virtual mouse drag inputs specifically on title bars since this beta update.
Has anyone else experienced this on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta, or is there a known API change / security restriction in this version that affects remote input handling for WindowServer?
Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
