I believe it is tied to Tahoe, though it sporadically occurs in previous versions of macOS. It is likely tied to some unusual element (Filter?) in the current view. I’ve not been able to reproduce this.
I also see this. I thought it was related to version 11. I have never seen it on version 10, but I have not used it in a while now. I use my laptop connected to an external monitor with the laptop screen closed but sometimes opened. I think I see this more often when opening Tinderbox and the window is “wrongly” positioned and sized because it was on the other screen last time.
I cannot reproduce this. I suspect it is tied to some less-used auxiliary bar in Tinderbox views, such as Filter or Find, or possibly to a specific view itself that isn’t Map, Outline, or Hyperbolic.
I started seeing it on moving from macOS 15.7.2 Sequoia to macOS 26.1 Tahoe.
I’m not surprised as macOS 26.1 seems very buggy and part-finished. It looks like Apple screwed up a lot of the behind the scenes permissions. For instance I no longer get any crash report logs, for any app. This appears to be a known problem.
Another since-Tahoe oddity is that clicking the badge-browser pop-over (in Outline or Map) only works about one in three times, else multiple clicks are needed to invoke the pop-over. I can’t reproduce it on demand (thus not previously reported) but the problem is consistent and regular. The OS pop-up for the filename in app windows is also really laggy in Tahoe, even on a fast/high-spec MBPro.
I am also seeing this same behavior. TBX Version 11.0.1 (b737), MacOS 26.1 (25B78), Macbook Pro M1.
Goes away after closing and reopening the app. It’s not obvious how to reproduce it. When you click on the current tab there is a blue outline that flashes that is the correct size, but the divider isn’t lined up with it.
It is likely related to use of the top-of-pane control panels, either things like Find and Filter, or maybe views with top-of-panel panels like Parabolic and Attribute Browser.
Had this happen on a secondary window of an open project. Some observations:
There are no top-of-pane panels
The behaviour persists as I move that window from Outline to Attribute to Map View
The primary window (as in’ “the window I’ve been working in for the past 2-3 days”) doesn’t exhibit the snapping behaviour
I toggled the Text Pane Selector, and folded/unfolded the DisplayedAttributes pane, to no effect
Toggled through cmd-4, cmd-5, cmd-6 - again, no effect
Clicked the tab to refresh the view, no effect
Nor do any of the other MacOS window position commands have any effect - maximize, move to left/right of screen, etc
When I showed/hid the Toolbar, the window developed a second snap-back snap position. In effect, if I pull the divider to the right, it snaps back to position #1. If I pull the divider to the left and past the point of snap position #2, it jumps back to snap position #2 (which lies to the left of snap position #1)
On #4 - yes, to be clear - everything continues to work normally and as advertised, it’s just that none of the above-mentioned user actions had any effect on the snapping behaviour.
On #8 - yes, cmd-opt-T.
Lastly - I also toggled the Cmd-F “Find” and Opt-Shft-Cmd-F “Use Filter” panels, but this didn’t affect the snapping behaviour.
I’m having this problem in Tahoe as well. TB (11.5.0) divider snaps back to approximately the middle of the window. Nothing fixes it other than quitting and restarting TB. This is in a regular “map” window, not any of the newer features. I don’t know what causes it to happen. I just go back to TB after some period and it is doing that. It’s on a M2 MBPro that I do close overnight and on my external monitor. I admit I haven’t checked this on my MBPro monitor. I have TB for this project running in Desktop 3 on the external monitor (with D1 on the laptop, 2, 3, and 4 on the external)
Yes, I’ve seen this once, too. No one seems to be able to reproduce it, and quit/reopen always clears the issue. More questions:
• When it happens, does it affect ALL windows, or just one?
• If you open a NEW window for this document, is it affected?
• If you close the document and reopen it, it the reopened document affected?
Existing file, has been open and working fine, just started doing the snap back thing. Just the one file. Two other open files have no snap back issue. Saving file has no effect. Close problematic file and reopen (not quitting) and it works fine again (no snap back issue). Very mysterious. Was in outline view. Icon and text setting for toolbar showing.
