After updating from Big Sur 11.2.3 to 11.3, I have noticed two distinct
changes in Messages. One is definite, one is questionable as to whether
what I noticed is real or my imagination.
1. When sending a message either as new or reply, I seem to remember two
controls after the edit field, now there's only one.
2. In the Delete Conversation dialog, I could swear the DELETE button
was the last control before upgrading. Now, DELETE and CANCEL have been
swapped. I know this one virtually for sure because I'm so used to
relying on so-called muscle memory to go to the File menu, open it,
down-arrow four times, VO-Space, VO-End, press SPACEBAR to delete the
conversaition. Imagine my surprise when I first tried it after updating,
and the conversation was still there! Of course it was still there--I
was pressing CANCEL and didn't know it! This kind of thing sets my teeth
on edge whenever Apple does it. Round about MacOS version 20 or so,
they'll figure out that users want their controls in the order they want
them, and actually let us do that--rearrange the order and presence of
controls in a dialog. Wouldn't that be just wonderful! Getting rid of
controls, like the "Apps" button in Messages that I know I'll never ever
want or need, and I won't have to trip over it any more.
