Jira Cloud for Mac Releases Dark Mode

Why is the desktop app allowing me to Edit and Delete other people's comments? (I'm not an admin)

Also the popover outline is visually offset from the popover's content.

Wow, what trash. The text rendering makes it barely readable, and dragging a card around lags out and then it follows where your cursor was 5 seconds ago until it catches up.

It appears that they have no intention of fixing this:

Feeling blurry? A non-retina display may produce slight blurriness in the app. To enjoy the best experience, use the app on a high-res screen.

I wonder if Apple didn't give them the tools in Catalyst to do their text rendering correctly? The Twitter app does not suffer from these text rendering issues...

As a side note, the wording they used is patronizing to anyone not using a MacBook Pro or iMac 5k.

Issue description editing in a modal is quite awkward compared to the inline behaviour on web. It also doesn't seem to be possible to open links from the app

Feels a bit rough on the edges, but still it's a welcome addition. I've been using it today and I think I would switch to it, provided they'll fix some outstanding issues like text rendering on non retina screens, show avatars in the backlog screen, replace popups with proper dropdowns etc.

Absolutely ridiculous that the Mac app requires Catalina. Especially for a _ticketing_ system. What if you are a company that makes 32bit apps? What a dumb restriction. When they released the beta for Jira for Mac it was before Catalina was even out! So you had to test the beta software _on beta software_!

It's a Catalyst app... these APIs are not available on earlier versions of MacOS

Would be great if 'Copy Link' to issue was available on the desktop app as well

Hey payamrajabi, you can copy the link of an issue from the desktop app. You need to click on the meatballs in the issue and you are going to see the option there. The problem with Catalyst apps is that hovering is not a functionality that existed before.

Keyboard typing and text selection mechanics are pretty broken. It's been difficult to write text in the new app.
