Well, I'm sorry. You're right, this feels bad. I've tried to outline a method to my madness; but feedback process still needs improvements.
In your case, I've answered about your feedback on different forum and was wrong to hide it here.
Well if you follow changes in this garbage dump thread in reverse you'll see it was intentional behavior missing in 3.8.x. No, it won't be reverted. Disable taskbar flashing if it burns.
This is bumping. Do not bump.
The change is intended (as all tabbed apps do have suffix and purpose of app is not to change new UX nor to break accessibility). No, I will not add checkboxes, sorry.
Yeah, got a lot of those reports. But
1) I can't reproduce it
2) The hang is in News & Interests, nothing from SIB is there.
I don't know what to do exactly this this OS rot
You would complain if they're missing with no replacement.
You do need a better way so it would work on secondary taskbars. That may require something else but toolbars beloved.
Unfortunately. Multi-monitor users are very tough crowd.
Toolbars were discouraged since 2009 and I would only discourage them further. A better way to pin folders to taskbar is needed.
Options are not is generally useful. Sane defaults would be better. Cloned taskbar is what Windows 8 went with and going macOS way would present challenges. I see the usability benefits of ignoring full-screened monitor; however, I don't generally use multi-monitor as most users.
I would say they have no place on primary one.
I'm considering macOS approach where you have just one dock and can move it easier to different screens.
