Most of the UI error like this are because the first test build from Miller is using the buggy Tk 8.5.9. Please test with Tk 8.4 or with a custom build of something newer.
it took me a *long* time to figure out what was going on when I first tried the update years ago and happily through away all the double-bind & key event detection code I added by simply using a newer or older version of Tk.

Hey all
Maybe a little late in the cycle: In Pd on a Mac, you need to click twice when switching windows. First click changes window focus and only the second click can be used to interact with the window content.
It seems not to be typical behavior on a Mac. With other applications I can switch focus and do something with the same click.
Is this by design or simply not addressed yet? Yet not very important, but slightly tiring, IMHO.
BTW: Lot's of interesting improvements in the upcoming release. Thanks, Miller, Dan, IOhannes et al.!

I built my own Pd-0.48.0.app and it uses 8.4:
Tk 8.4.19
and it still has the same behavior.
Since I remember using Pd on macOS, I had to click once for switching windows and another time for actually clicking on something. So this doesn't seem something new with this release.
Your post sounds to me as you have a different experience. Can you click a bang from a window that has not focus with a single click?

Instead of wish8.4, should I try a newer self-built version, too?
