Preference's Panes 'mistakes' in 1.7.0.270

[Old Bruce]

Here are a couple of glitches.

Very difficult to read.

This one does nothing and I don't think it is supposed to be in Publisher. The same item in Photo does open the finder window.

Hi Bruce,

I've logged the button not working but can't seem to replicate that text looking odd, does it change at all if you switch between Dark/Light UI?

Thanks

In the light mode all appears normal, doesn't seem to matter what I use for performance OpenGL or OpenGL (basic) or Metal. Neither does anything change with Default or Large user interface.

Hi Old Bruce,
Please update to the latest Publisher Beta  1.7.0.283. It should be fixed there (the black text in the Preferences dialog only).

[Old Bruce]

Hey @MEB & @Jon P

I came back to correct that, I do have the latest .283, the problem persists. And to add that it doesn't matter what I set the checkbox to (I like it off) in either light or dark mode the checkbox is checked (always) after quitting and starting again. Should I start a new topic for that bug?

Thank you Old Bruce. I'm seeing the same issue here. Seems it only affects macOS Sierra/High Sierra (the black text in the Preferences dialog only). On macOS Mojave it displays properly.

Replace text while typing setting not sticking on re-launch issue logged.

Thanks, but... [Expletive Deleted] I don't want to have to upgrade to that. [resigned-sigh emoticon]

[MEB]

I wasn't suggesting that. Just stating that it's working fine on Mojave

[Old Bruce]

Going to put it off as long as possible. Old enough to be stuck in my ways.

Hi Old Bruce,
This (black text) should be fixed in the next Publisher's Beta build. The misaligned buttons (bottom right of Auto-Correct dialog)  are still being looked at.

No.    Age brings wisdom.   I was expressly advised by a friendly Apple tech that if I was happy with MacSierra I should definitely stick with it vs Mojave.    They would have to pry Sierra "out of my cold dead hands" to quote somebody or other.    I am giving my iMAC daily vitamin B-12 to prolong its OS 10.12.6 mental health.
