Ugh, Tahoe is so unpolished that if you press on any menu like this the pop-up contents that appear are misaligned…

…which doesn’t seem like much until you realize that if you click at the bottom, a click and release *without moving your mouse*, which was always 100% safe (and a way to “peek” into a menu to see what’s inside), can now accidentally change your option.

@mwichary one day I’ll write an article about how in older Mac OSes dropdown labels used to stay in place when popup opened, pixel for pixel. It hasn’t been the case for Mac OS X, I don’t think, but it was still close. Tahoe is on another level for sure

@nikitonsky Yeah, I was thinking of including this too! But then it’d be too long of a post ha

Web in particular makes one miss very aligned things.

@mwichary they were even brave enough to leave extra space on the left when popup was closed to match label location when it was open and needed padding on the left for the checkmark. It was that important

@nikitonsky @mwichary It was previously in macOS. When I worked on iCloud.com we saw this behavior for native selects in macOS and implemented it on the web. Not sure if the web version has survived the various org changes but it did exist maybe 5 years ago on both macOS and the Apple web apps.
