Anyway, I think we can all put our differences aside, and claim in unison that Apple should change the release cycle to 2 years with longer beta-testing periods. At least in macOS.
Got a tip for us?

Not a bad idea, although maybe every 15 to 18 months might be better, in order to take advantage of newer technologies, features, etc. I actually am not seeing much (if any) difference between Sierra and Catalina (or Mojave, for that matter). And I am also not seeing much (if any) benefit to this newer APFS business.
I have almost this issue. I can type one keyword at a time, but as soon as I type a , to start a new one the field becomes deselected. It’s really annoying. I happens with both a single photos selected, and with multiple selected.
Apologies if this has already been talked about:
Clipboard is screwing with some - not all - of my apps, but specifically Capture One Pro. When it decides to give up it really messes everything. Copy and paste adjustments in a pro photo platform? Forget it!
I've talked to Phase One - they can't repeat the problem, but it IS a problem.
I'm currently downgrading out of Beta (.2) back to 15.1 - but I'm fairly sure that this isn't going away, judging by the history of this thread.
How can I get back to Mojave? I mean without a backup of Mojave? I don't use Time Machine because I don't generally need to. Is there a Mojave download out there?

updated yesterday to 10.15.2
Battery life is still way worse than Mojave. Also, these bugs aren't fixed yet:
Wrong icon for pdfs and zips:
![1576080222266.png]( "1576080222266.png")
Column view gets stretched because why not:
![1576080280592.png]( "1576080280592.png")
Maps using location services all the time is still present. So for me, 10.15.2 is basically the same as 10.15.1, not much improvement made. Only great thing about it is Music app remembering album position when browsing (wow!)

About the icons, maybe these are the new icons in PDF expert, if you use another app by default, it changes the icons in Finder, it will use its own icons. Same for the zip, if you switch to another app, the new app will change the icons. And maybe these are the new icons designed by the developers of pdf expert.
I don’t know about the stretch view, never happened to me.
I am having a minor issue with the wifi menu displaying iPhone status. If I option click the wifi icon and then hover over my iPhone, the battery status always shows a fixed number like 75% no matter what the actual charge level is. I saw this happen on two different laptops, one of which is my 16", both running Catalina 10.15.2.
The column view stretched has been happening to me as well, @ignaciobarrena since before the first Golden Master was released.
Hi all, I just realized that I don't get any sound from incoming emails.
Has anyone experienced this bug? I'm using exchange acc.
Thanks

I did a successful clean installation of OS 10.15.2 on each of my Macs, and I initially had that same issue with Thunderbird on one of my machines. But the next time i launched Thunderbird, and there were some incoming EMails, the familiar sound made by the program was back.
let's hope Apple start fixing stuff by 10.15.3... Catalina has been a mess compared to Mojave so far.
Sorry my mistake, I was talking about default mail app specifically not a third party client.
Although I get notification sound when I delete or send emails. Weird behavior.
Thanks
Maybe look at the "sound settings" for that program. As I don't use that mail program, not sure what Catalina did with it.
I don’t understand how it’s acceptable for all of Apple’s consumers to be guinness pigs for 9 months while Apple gets its software in order. I make the mistake every year to upgrade to the next major software release when I should just ride comfortably on the last and most stable X.3 or X.4 version. This happens every year, though this year is especially bad.
We were tricked by iOS12 and Mojave being stable and well tested.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results
Sounds for new incoming messages is enabled and other mail actions too.
It's just weird.
Hs anyone else experienced this bug? or is it meant that we don't get any sound from incoming emails?
That would be surprising, especially since Thunderbird works as usual. It might be helpful if others who use other EMail programs would "chime in".

I have never had an issue with the installation and running of a new version of the Mac OS, but I do not dare install the initial version. Here are some mistakes I've seen people make in this regard:
1. Not enough disk cleanup/maintenance/repairs. There are some excellent programs out there which can help with that, along with one doing a good amount of disk cleanup on their own.
2. Not having a solid, reliable plan for upgrading.
3. Rushing to install the initial version of the new Mac OS, even if there is nothing earth shattering or must have in the new version.
4. No backup.
5. Not considering compatibility of third party software.
Myself, I typically have to wait until the .2 or .3 version of the new Mac OS is released, as for one of my critical programs, TechTool Pro, does not have a compatible version ready right away. For Catalina, they released that version last week, but with OS 10.15.2 being so close to being released, I just waited for it. All my other third party software was either all ready compatible, or versions compatible with Catalina were released earlier than last week.
But even if ALL my third party software was compatible prior to the initial release, I'd wait anyway, as it has been shown time and time again that the initial version always contains too many bugs.

I've updated my 16" mbp to 10.15.2 and now after waking from sleep laptop does not connect to the WiFi : Not only it does not connect, but it also does not list any networks (only iPhone hotspot is listed).
If I try to switch WiFi off it does not switch back on : clicking on "Turn WiFi on" makes icon animate (searching networks) for a second and then it goes to the "off state".
Only reboot helps.
Anyone else having a similar problem ?

Something seems to be wrong with your network adapter. Can you try resetting it? See, for example, https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/26681
I have posted the below in another thread as well, but posting it here for help, hopefully.
Does anyone else with a MacBook Air 2017:
Find upon a restart or a cold boot that some apps that are usually in the Other folder in launchpad are now spread out in Launchpad?
Automator, Chess, Font Book, Image Capture, QuickTime Player, Stickies, TextEdit are the apps that are outside the Utilities folder in Finder > Applications.
The Utilities folder in Finder is what is shown as Other folder in launchpad, and has 17 apps that are reflected as is in Other folder in Launchpad when the aforementioned apps are spilled out randomly on a restart/ cold boot. When I use the Terminal command to reset Launchpad, the aforementioned app icons get consolidated back in the Other folder in Launchpad, but remain outside of Utilities folder in Finder > Applications anyway.
Would someone who has never seen this problem tell me if these aforementioned apps are in Finder > Applications or Finder > Applications > Utilities folder for them?
I am trying to not perform a complete reinstall at this point, since otherwise the system is not showing any issues.

Thanks for advice, I've used ifconfig it seemed to help (for now at least) :
Code:
ifconfig en0 down
ifconfig en0 up
