I'm surprised they released this. I try to participate in every macOS beta I can. This is by far the most unstable release I've experienced.

- Settings app has a lot of weird bugs and performance issues. After a restart I have to wait a few minutes before the Settings app actually functions. Overall the Settings app has felt like a step back in terms of UX and performance

- Lots of weird issues with Docker (might be on Docker's side though)

- My screen goes black after disconnecting my external monitor and requires a restart to fix the issue

- Strange networking issues



Performance of the Settings app is disappointing. Most of its views are just a handful of basic controls with a fixed layout, and yet switching to not-yet-cached views has a noticeable lag.

I'm flabbergasted that Apple's latest UI struggles to beat web apps not just on design (RIP Aqua), but also performance.


I just upgraded my Mac and holy cow, is the new System Settings app buggy... and it's also fixed-width for whatever reason.

Also, it seems to think - for a few moments after every restart - that my Wifi connection is to a hidden network, when it actually isn't. Welp.


System Preferences was always fixed-width; it's Windows's Settings app that's not.


Yes, but I was expecting the new one to have a responsive design. Wasn't it rewritten from scratch using iOS-like tech or something?


Don't know how if it was rewritten; but it's no longer fixed-height, which is IMO what matters when dealing with long lists.


I've been running in the beta since the spring too and I haven't seen any of these problems

Thanks for the heads up on this
