Some bugs running in Sanoma

Using the FCS release of Bear 2 in the Mac App Store, running into a few UI issues in the latest macOS Sanoma beta.

1. The CTRL-1/2/3 commands will frequently bork the UI sizing. The sidebar may open huge. The whole window may become huge. The text area may shrink to a thin strip. In general, hitting these keys will bork the UI pretty reliably.

2. Easy to get into a state where the editor won’t scroll - not via trackpad or mouse gesture, and even grabbing the scrollbar on the right side will “snap back” and never actually scroll. In fact, I can use the keyboard to move the cursor off the visible area of the note, and the note won’t scroll up to track the active cursor location.

Could well be Sanoma bugs, but as I don’t see this with other apps, it could be a special way that Bear uses system API that has changed, too.

Please avoid betas for iOS 17 and macOS 14 Sonoma. We don't support beta OSes, at least not this early in the process

Apple just released betas for its OSes coming this fall. While they can be fun, beta OSes often change (and subsequently break) lots of random things, and we just don’t have the time or motivation to play whack-a-mole with this stuff. I know the new shiny can be tempting. I’ve run them in past years. But we’ve already seen reports from people running the developer betas of bizarre things that are broken, such as their cursor straight up disappearing. Sorry to say this, but: If you need Bear 2 …

Good point, and understood - just passing along bugs I’ve seen. Certainly not expecting support.
