I use Messages on MacOS and I have this very problematic issue that luckily has never gotten me into any trouble:
When I receive a message on Messages, it doesn’t automatically raise that recipient’s thread to the top. The message window remains on the same recipient, which means if I type into the message window, I end up sending a message to an unintended recipient as opposed to the one I’m trying to answer.
I’m wondering if there’s a setting for this that will fix this?
would it be fair to say that you have at least one messages window open 24/7, AND that you’re clicking on the toast notification to open messages when a new message comes in?
I only have the overall messages window open. By default the pane that shows messages (as opposed to recipients) is the last person I responded to. I don’t click on notifications to open messages. I’ll see either the notification (and let it fade) or I’ll see I have a flag on the messages icon to say I have unread messages.
