I've reported a longstanding macOS Spaces input-reliability issue to Apple: typing and scrolling are ignored during the slow final tail of a Space-switching animation, even when the destination looks ready. It happens with multi-finger trackpad swipes across my Macs and interrupts my work countless times a day, including when switching to Screen Sharing.
To reproduce, leave a focused text editor on one Space, swipe away and back, and start typing as the destination settles but before the transition fully finishes. Compare with typing after completion. Repeat with a scrollable window.
Reduce Motion changes the slide to a fade but doesn't solve the interaction delay for me. The desired fix is to accept input on the destination once the switch is committed, while preserving the spatial animation.
Has anyone found a supported way for destination apps to receive input during this interval, or confirmed the same behavior on their current macOS version?
