Cursor Misalignment When Selecting List Options – macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2
Since updating my MacBook Air to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2, I’ve encountered a persistent cursor misalignment issue: When interacting with lists or contextual menus, the cursor’s visual position does not align with what it actually selects. The system registers the cursor slightly above where it appears, causing clicks to select the wrong option or fail to register. As a temporary workaround, I can sometimes position the cursor off-target and press Enter to select, but this is a frustrating and inefficient workaround. The issue persists after a restart and appears across multiple areas of the OS: Right-clicking an app in the Dock to open the contextual menu → cursor highlights an incorrect item relative to its position. In System Settings menus. Even on the Feedback Assistant site when selecting issue categories. Steps to Reproduce: 1️⃣ Update to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2 on MacBook Air. 2️⃣ Right-click on any open application in the Dock. 3️⃣ Attempt to select an option from the list that appears. 4️⃣ Observe that the cursor highlights or interacts with a different option than where the cursor is visibly located. Notes: Issue is consistent across reboots. Affects workflow and general navigation. Temporary workaround using keyboard navigation is insufficient for productivity. FB Number: FB18531124 If others are seeing this as well, please confirm below so Apple can prioritize investigation.

encounter memory leak for SVG image
I have a memory leak for SVG image that located in Assets.xcassets file when using SwiftUI Image, but when I use UIImage then convert it to SwiftUI Image the issue is not found. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { NavigationLink("Show", destination: SecondView()) } .padding() } } } struct SecondView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { IM.svgImage .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 200, height: 200) Button("Dismiss") { dismiss() } } } } } enum IM { static let testImage: Image = "test_image".image static let svgImage: Image = "svgImage".image } extension String { var image: Image { Image(self) // Memory leak } var imageFromUIImage: Image { guard let uiImage = UIImage(named: self) else { return Image(self) } return Image(uiImage: uiImage) // No Memory leak } } Environment that produces the issue: Xcode: 16.2 Simulator: iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.5)

Issues with .zoom NavigationTransition to a sheet with a .medium detent
When using a .zoom navigation transition, where .matchedTransitionSource is applied to a button in a toolbar and the destination view is a sheet which is presented with PresentationDetent.medium, the transition works initially, but shortly after it completes, the sheet's background is dimmed and the text of the source button reappears abruptly. Code and a screenshot are below, though the effect is best observed when interacting with the view. // // ContentView.swift // ZoomNavigationTransitionSample // // Created by Matthew DuBois on 6/15/25. // import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresentingSheet = false @Namespace private var namespace var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { Text("Some content") } .navigationTitle("Sample") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Button") { isPresentingSheet = true } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "button", in: namespace) } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresentingSheet) { Text("Some sheet content") .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "button", in: namespace)) .presentationDetents([.medium]) } } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

Landscape safe area is incorrect when presenting SKStoreProductViewController
Hi. If the app is in landscape only and when the SKStoreProductViewController is presented, the safeArea changes to what looks like a portrait mode safe area. When the SKStoreProductViewController is dismissed, the safeArea does NOT revert back to the original values. Is there a way to force the safeArea to "reset"? I've submitted some bug tickets through Apple Feedback but I haven't received any response about it. The below code will pop up the SKStoreProductViewController and if you have a UIView that is constrained to the safe area, then you can visibly notice that the safe area is changed and doesn't go back. I have tested this on iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 Pro and in the Simulators. The incorrect behavior happens on those and probably more. Thanks. #import "ViewController.h" #import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h> @interface ViewController () @property (nonatomic, strong) SKStoreProductViewController *productViewController; @end @implementation ViewController - (IBAction)buttonTapped:(id)sender { self.productViewController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init]; NSDictionary *parameters = @{ @"id" : @"6443575749" }; [self.productViewController loadProductWithParameters:parameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError * _Nullable error) { [self presentViewController:self.productViewController animated:YES completion:^{ // presented // The panel that is constraint to the safe area visibly shows that the safe area is no longer correct. }]; }]; } @end

The NSTextViewDelegate method textViewDidChangeSelection(:) will not fire, while all other text view delegate methods do.
I am trying to implement the NSTextViewDelegate function textViewDidChangeSelection(_ notification: Notification). My text view's delegate is the Coordinator of my NSViewRepresentable. I've found that this delegate function never fires, but any other delegate function that I implement, as long as it doesn't take a Notification as an argument, does fire (e.g., textView(:willChangeSelectionFromCharacterRange:toCharacterRange:), fires and is called on the delegate exactly when it should be). For context, I've verified all of the below: textView.isSelectable = true textView.isEditable = true textView.delegate === my coordinator I can call textViewDidChangeSelection(:) directly on the delegate without issue. I can select and edit text without issues. I.e., the selections are being set correctly. But the delegate method is never called when they are. I am able to add the intended delegate as an observer for the selector textViewDidChangeSelection via NotificationCenter. If I do this, the function executes when it should, but fires for every text view in my view hierarchy, which can number in the hundreds. I'm using an NSLayoutManager, so I figure this should only fire once. I've added a check within my code: func textViewDidChangeSelection(_ notification: Notification) { guard let textView = notification.object as? NSTextView, textView === layoutManager.firstTextView else { return } // Any code I want to execute... } But the above guard check lets through every notification, so, no matter what, my closure executes hundreds of times if I have hundreds of text views, all of them being sent by textView === layoutManager.firstTextView, but once for each and every text view managed by that layoutManager. Does anyone know why this method isn't ever called on the delegate, while seemingly all other delegate methods are? I could go the NotificationCenter route, but I'd love to know why this won't execute as a delegate method when documentation says that it should, and I don't want to have to implement a counter to make sure my code only executes once per selection update. And for more reasons than that, implementing via delegate method is preferable to using notifications for my use case. Thanks for any help!

memory leak/increased memory by NSTextField setString
I just put the TextField on UI and call the NSTextField setString, but it is memory usage is increasing. StoryBoard Objective C put TextField and button to UI set TextField variable to "ABC" in ViewController.h @property (weak) IBOutlet NSTextView* ABC; on button event function //dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ [_ABC setString:str]; //}); How to block the memory usage increase? Also I was check on Instruments app, and there are many malloc 48bytes, its count is almost same with setString count. Thank you!
