Apple Seeds Third Beta of Upcoming macOS Catalina 10.15.4 Update to Developers

Hi,

I am sitting and watching a movie on a full screen. Apple Mail is running in hidden or minimized state so it fetches emails. At some point the Mail app appear as a full screen split window next to my movie. My movie watching experience is interacted. I watch the Mail - there should be a new mail, right - NO, no new email. Apple Mail window decided to manifest itself and pop right next to my full screen movie experience in order just to show up - NO NEW MAIL.

My email provider is Gmail, why you would ask - well because professional companies want @yourdomain.com or @gmail.com, maybe @outlook.com in some cases, @icloud.com is not "pro" enough, so that's why I use Gmail. I don't know if your interaction with Gmail is the cause.

Now I just quit my Apple Mail each time I want to watch a movie or a video in full screen in order for it not to show up.

That bug is clearly irritating, it is there from many of the past versions of the OS. I tough it was just me. I have a MacBook Air with clean-installed Catalina on it - happens there as well, so the glitch comes from the OS itself and your Apple Mail application.

Opening MacRumors or 9to5Mac comment threads you'll see TONS of people complain for that under each news of new stable, beta or alpha version of the OS or an update. EVERY THREAD has someone saying something about THIS BUG.

I have complained about it MANY TIMES throw different channels.

I am starting a petition if the next version of the OS doesn't update this. I will be contacting news and blog publishers regarding this petition.

THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG! PLEASE FIX IT!

Kind Regards

I wonder if Mail keeps popping up and ruining full screen apps that play videos.i have this issue since Yosemite. Probably there is a fix but I haven’t managed to find out.

Build 19E242d for those who miss the info in the MR article like it used to be given.

Hi,

Kind Regards

The only three words in your response worth reading and that didn't make me laugh.

Love a new beta. Most exciting part of my life!

This must be one of the longest-lasting, most frustrating issues I have ever experienced in any software. It's so incredibly annoying and can sometimes even crash or freeze applications. Are they not using their own software and find it annoying as well? I mean there are more important things to fix, but come on, this has been an issue for so long and is incredibly widespread.
