★ Why It Is Difficult to Resize Windows on MacOS 26 Dyehoe
https://daringfireball.net/2026/01/resizing_windows_macos_26@daringfireball I’ll admit I’m sorely tempted to downgrade from Tahoe … Do you have any info on whether it will still play nice with all the other iPhones, iPads, etc. upgraded to 26? Particularly with regards to syncing, iCloud, etc? Thanks!

@daringfireball I am not sure I understand this complaint. I get a two-ended arrow when I hover over the target area to resize—diagonal on the corner, horizontal on the sides and vertical on the bottom and top. Maybe a bit less clear than an always present indicator, but it works fine for me.
The complaint isn't about the appearance of the cursor, it's about the placement and size of the invisible area into which you have to move the pointer to activate it.
For example, as a Mac user, I'd have thought the window could be dragged and resized from this pixel, but it can't; I have to move the pointer even further down and to the left first.

https://daringfireball.net/2026/01/resizing_windows_macos_26@daringfireball dragging windows is harder too. Traditionally we could click on the title bar as a draggable region. But in Tahoe there’s no visible affordance. This is doubly worse for background Safari windows which have a borderless address field in that area.
