touch the keyboard area with another finger :)
Thanks for that tip! Unfortunately, it's still bad. It's a bit better than dragging the handles of the selected area, but if I go to far and want to reduce the selected area, it doesn't work anymore.
Clicking on folders that you have put in Finders sidebar - It will not display the folder with the view settings set for that folder, but instead the last folder you clicked in the sidebar. It seems to happen clicking from top to bottom vs bottom to top. You just cant make this sh*t up it's so bad. Example sidebar: Applications - Always shows as icons Documents - Shows as icons if you last clicked on Applications. Sh…
Finder has stopped being a spatial file manager for a long time, but still mistakenly tries to behave like one in too many places, probably because of lingering legacy code more than a particular intent. IMHO they should simply rip the spatial bits out entirely and it would immediately become a better file manager purely from the restored consistency.
Two other bugs I haven't seen mentioned yet:
- The notes field in the Contacts app on iOS is completely broken. If you start typing a contact note the page jumps around randomly. And if you have a longer note it won't autoscroll to the cursor so you're typing blind. Became even worse in iOS 26...
- Stage Manager on macOS feels very buggy due to inconsistent behavior across apps and windows. Could be great in theory, but in practice frustrating to use.

What does custom domain mean? Just an email provider other than the mainstream ones?
You purchase your own domain name and use that domain name as your email address. For instance, if I had an email address that was me@afandian.com; the afandian.com would be a custom domain. It's not routed to @gmail.com, it's routed to @afandian.com. Now in practice you can have a custom domain and still have it managed by Google's Mail servers; but it's the domain name itself that sends up the flags.
It just seems like it should be so commonplace. It just seems ridiculous that it means

What the heck is a spatial file manager
The idea is that it's not directories that are just bags of files, but files occupy spatial locations in folder windows.
Trying to type this comment on an iPhone and that very last issue, text selection, is so so real. It’s probably the single biggest thing I hate about this phone that makes me consider switching back to Android (I was on Android for 12 years before trying out an iPhone for 3 years atm, and in general, on average, I can’t tell the difference… they both have strengths and flaws. Text selection is a pretty massive flaw o…
YES Typing is a horror show (perhaps only for me as I don't daily-drive and iphone but only have an ipad for home usage which may "under-train" me to The Way). Text selection is cute, with the magnifying lens. It seems like this should work. Though the rest of the process is unpredictable and The Bad Kind Of Magic: Nick turns self into toad, poof! REFERENCE - from the site: * "iOS Text Selection is Pure Chaos" * You…

Yet on Android you can simply tap exactly where you want the cursor to be placed. It's a much superior experience.
um, you do the same on ios.

You can still get a cursor by holding down space bar.
that deserves a whole separate opera. why does moving the cursor to start/end almost always place it one character off? same when trying to use touch on text for it.

I submitted this YouTube video (not mine) a while ago here that demonstrates typing issues that I also encountered on several iPhones: [It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken]( https://youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo )
Oh my thanks for that, I thought I was going crazy. The one that keeps getting to me is that iOS insists on putting periods instead of spaces when I only pressed the space bar once so.I.end.up.with.sentences.like.this. (when it starts doing it it can be extremely consistent); yes I know about the double space -> period shortcut but like in the video that's not it. There was a time where the iOS keyboard just worked.
