macOS Sonoma 14.1 - followed a week later by 14.1.1 because of a bug in the WindowServer that flipped the Y coordinate of click events.macOS likema 14.2 - followed a week later by 14.2.1 because of a bug in the WindowServer and how it tracks sessions.Guess who found both bugs and had to deal with the fallout? Me.Both of these bugs are in parts of the WindowServer that have been stable for a long time (in first case, decades!) No one like emergency point releases, so what's wrong?

I don't have any inside information, but it feels like the introduction of Stage Manager on macOS coincides with some of the weirdness that I’ve observed over the last couple of years.Introducing a new mode into a codebase with decades of legacy couldn't be an easy task. And I think we're seeing the fallout from that work.I question the wisdom of this effort: it's a mode that few people use and trying to achieve platform consistency where the fundamental window/app architecture is different.

Another thing I've noticed: a lot of iPad folks want windows to work more like they do on the Mac.I’ve never heard of a Mac user who longs for windows that behave like the iPad.Yet here we are.

@chockenberry Reminds me of the whole 'discoveryd' fiasco back in Yosemite that caused no end of issues (high CPU usage, duplicate hostnames, DNS resolution failures, wake from sleep delays, etc) and eventually resulted in reverting to the old mDNSResponder daemon in 10.10.4. https://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/26/apple-discoveryd-replaced-with-mdnsresponder/(Apparently that's *another* one of those you had a hand in reporting and getting fixed: https://furbo.org/2015/05/05/discoveryd-clusterfuck/.)

@chockenberry Incidentally, macOS *still* can't handle stuff like having both Ethernet and WiFi active at the same time — my MBP is *constantly* incrementing its hostname because it keeps seeing itself on the network via mDNS and isn't smart enough to figure out that yes, that is in fact itself it's seeing and it should probably leave the hostname alone.

@MattF_NorCal Wait wait wait — is *this* why Chrome on my MBP was tripping over so many ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED errors? (@siracusa?)

@FormerlyStC I’ve tried disabling Wi-Fi and only using Ethernet and vice versa, but it does not eliminate the problem.

@siracusa @FormerlyStC it does make it worse to have both, but I think macOS is just buggy here. I also get “duplicate MAC" warnings on a fairly average Ethernet switch.One issue with turning off WiFi is that Airdrop doesn't work, so I actually have it on even though I don't want to.

@sayrer @FormerlyStC @siracusa use scutil to manually set HostName, LocalHostname and ComputerName. HostName if left unset will be determined by reverse DNS lookups and that's what meses it up.
