  • This is a new bug that hasn't been documented in a closed issue or in the Readme.

macOS version: 12.4
Rectangle version: 0.57
Logs if applicable (In Rectangle menu, hold option, "View Logging..."): None

Every other app I can use the keyboard shortcuts to move windows around with Rectangle...but Messages. This used to work about a month ago but is not working now. I can move the Messages window around using the options in the menu.

Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, this happens when an app (messages in this case) doesn't respond to the accessibility API in macOS for moving/resizing windows, and it's not something that can be handled in Rectangle. Typically, it's fixed by just restarting the app that's not responding.

Thanks @rxhanson. Tried restarting and the same deal - not sure if there is somewhere I could check for responding to the Accessibility API.

Note it's only the keyboard shortcuts that don't respond; if I do the resizing via the menu bar icon it works perfectly.

Doing some housekeeping and closing out issues. Closing this one since there's not really anything that can be done from Rectangle's side here and I can't reproduce it. Feel free to comment further if there's any updates.
