The term "sheet" is still used in Apple docs, however in earlier version (macOS < 12 or 11) a
"SHEET" would slide out of the calling stack's title bar.
This is not the case anymore, the "sheet" will appear with a very slight move out of nowhere
to the center of the calling stack. And that is not what we used to call "sheet".
I think this is the actual problem here.
That does seem like the most likely answer - i had thought of this as well and did try to find out more from apple, but couldn't quite find the right page, as they now merge all apple platforms into one. I did find it finally today:
https://developer.apple.com/design/huma ... on/sheets/
Seems like even though on iOS seems work as they used to on MacOS (only they slide up from the bottom), on MacOS they are a centred window-modal that dims the parent window.
So yes, Klaus is entirely correct - this isn't a bug, just a recent OS change... pity, because i used to like sheets
The documentation needs changing then:
Dictionary - 'Sheet' command wrote:Cross-platform note:* The appearance of sheets on OS X, in which they slide into view from the title bar, is unique to that OS and does not happen on Windows or Linux.
Probably worth logging that to avoid confusion for future users...
Thanks everyone!
PS: For others that haven't tried this, this is the new 'sheet' look:
This was the 'old' look:
