Any word from beta users of macOS 18 on any compatibility issues with DEVONThink Pro 3.9.7?

None. I run macOS Sequoia b15 on a M3 Max machine, and have no issues with DEVONthink, or any other app for that matter. Sequoia public release is in 2 days, so you should get additional confirmation as people upgrade.

(BTW, it’s macOS 15 – the “18” series of OSs is for iOS, iPadOS, and TVOS. DEVONthink to Go works fine on iOS 18 and iPadOS 18.)

I am seeing that the buttons to select the options to view the contents of a folder as list, icons, columns or cover flow are not working after updating this morning. They seem to be “stuck” on whatever view they have been.

Selecting the option from the “View” menu does work. It is just the buttons in the window pane that are not responsive.

Thanks for this info. I had a problem a few years ago where I didn’t check carefully with this group before doing a system upgrade on my Mac, so I’ve resolved never to do that again! :smiley:

That has nothing to do with macOS, it has been reported before here.

I just updated to macOS 15 Sequoia and one of my notes wants to keep popping the view to the end of the note every time I type or hit the backspace key. I’ve tried several things to get it to stop, including copying everything to a new note, etc., but I can’t figure it out. There seems to be just this one note that does it.

A screenshot or screen recording of this issue would be useful, thanks.

I don’t know if dementia has finally caught up with me or if this is a genuine change, but it seems as if the row of icons in the toolbar now aligns to the middle rather than aligning to the left as it used to (I think). I seem to have some sort of muscle memory for moving the pointer with the trackpad, so I found this introduced some friction in my movements. I have solved it for the moment by putting 14 spaces in the toolbar to shift the icons to the left. Sometimes small things can make a bigger difference than one might expect.

That’s this change of v3.9.7, see release notes:

In the end it’s a workaround for toolbar issues on macOS 15.0.

I have a .mov screen recording, where do I upload it? It doesn’t seem to want it here.

I’m not sure if there’s any setting in Discourse to support this but you could use Handbrake to convert .mov to .mp4.

Jumping when editing.mp4.zip (2.0 MB)

This is on my work Mac, so had to remove all the real text. Uploads don’t accept videos, so I zipped it, as that’s accepted.

Thanks! Hold the Option key and choose Help > Report bug to start a support ticket and please send me the test document to inspect.

Does this happen in TextEdit too when editing this note?

Not a DT-specific issue, but the Sequoia changes to right-clicking have brought home to me (i) how completely Apple have borked up the trackpad gesture, (ii) how useful and well thought-out contextual menus have always been in DT, and (iii) how much they’d become quietly embedded in everything I do in DT. Control-click still works, so we can just revert to the old days of single-button mousing while we get used to the new control-return keyboard command (which I do like). But honestly, what were they thinking?

I’m puzzled because I hadn’t noticed any changes to right-clicking. I must have missed something.
