Three fixes from rc.1 field reports, nothing new. The one most people
will notice: option-click and double-click on the menu bar toggled the
always-hidden section in every 1.x build, and both went dead the moment
you upgraded to 2.x. The other two are narrower. A drag into an empty
always-hidden section still timed out when the hidden section happened to
be collapsed as well, and the space-switch re-homing that landed in rc.1
did nothing at all on the macOS 26 setups where the per-display space
query stops answering.
Upgrade from 2.0.1-rc.1
- Update in place through Sparkle.
- If you came from 1.x and never touched the two click-gesture toggles
in Settings, General, both come up on after this update, the way they
behaved in 1.x. Turn either one off there and Thaw keeps that choice.
Anyone who already set them explicitly, on or off, is left alone. - No schema or
defaultschanges. Profiles and saved layouts carry over
untouched.
Main fixes
- The 1.x click gestures survive the upgrade to 2.x (#1012).
Option-click and double-click on the menu bar toggled the
always-hidden section unconditionally in 1.x. 2.0 turned both into
opt-in settings that default to off, and the keys behind them did not
exist for anyone upgrading, so both gestures silently stopped working
with no setting visibly changed. Both now come up on when they have
never been explicitly set, and an explicit choice, including off, is
never overwritten. Separately, the control items' phantom-click
suppression sat in front of the whole event switch and swallowed
right-click along with it, so the context menu was unreachable
whenever the menu bar transiently had no item windows on the active
space. That guard is now scoped to the left mouse-down it was written
for. - A drag into an empty, collapsed always-hidden section completes even
when the hidden section is collapsed too (#1010). The reveal added in
#988 expanded only the destination section, but the always-hidden
divider parks to the left of the hidden section's content: with the
hidden section collapsed behind its 10000-point spacer, the revealed
divider was re-placed just left of that still-parked content and never
came onscreen. Every such drag timed out into the "open the section
first" refusal, advice that could not help, since only expanding the
hidden section puts the always-hidden boundary onscreen. The reveal
now expands the hidden section alongside the always-hidden section and
restores both once the item settles. - Menu bar appearance re-homes after a space switch even where the
per-display space query goes quiet (#794). On the macOS 26 setups
behind the reports still open against rc.1, that query stops
answering, and the old code read the silence as "the overlay panel is
already in place", so the tint, shape, and background stayed stuck on
the launch space for every recovery path. The panel on the display
that owns the active menu bar now falls back to the global active
space, which coincides with that display's current space by
definition. The decision logs its inputs, so any report that survives
this can be pinned to a branch.
