- Users experience difficulty resizing windows in macOS Tahoe due to the hit target being mostly outside the window.
- Apple removed the visible resize affordance in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, which previously indicated resizable windows.
- The invisible scrollbars and lack of resize indicators in macOS reduce UI clarity and usability.
- The hit target for resizing windows in macOS 26 Tahoe is 75% outside the window, making it counterintuitive.
- The design changes in macOS 26 Tahoe prioritize aesthetics over functionality, contrary to good design principles.
- The solution suggested is to avoid upgrading to macOS 26 Tahoe or downgrade if already upgraded.
