Annoying macOS bugs

Anyone else experience bugs with macOS?

I have two that are annoying me…

  1. Every now and again after waking from sleep, Safari CPU consumption goes through the roof! I have to force quite and restart for it to stop. (If you just quit normally then you have to go to history > reopen windows from last session to get all your tabs and windows back - force quitting seems to avoid this)

  2. The right hand side of the top menu bar keeps disappearing! This has only started happening after the most recent update!

Anyone else experiencing these or other bugs?

Not sure if its a bug per se, but one that gets to me is the mail app randomly deciding to open itself and show up in the middle of my screen. It’s interrupted many of my meetings…

Anyone else have that happen and know how to stop it?

I barely use my MacBook Pro but I very often get 100% CPU after it wakes up – although it’s not only Safari, very often it’s the indexer, and sometimes other odd system services.

But yep, the Safari thing happened once on my iMac Pro as well. Took about 20 minutes for it to stop, was pretty strange but I was curious and left it alone to see if it will stop by itself. It did.

About the second point: nope, never. Maybe you have an older Mac with an NVIDIA GPU?

Yeah, i’ve heard before its due to automatic mail checking… I’ll have to look into it again. Thanks for the reply!
