Just installed 10.9.2 and none of the bugs listed here are fixed for me. Especially the responsive scrolling bug (that for me occurs in the Mac App Store app) and the Dock not following the mouse to move to the active monitor.
I still haven't found a solution that fixes the responsive scrolling issue.
The workaround for fixing the Dock issue is not that elegant either:
Mavericks introduced the ability to have the Dock and Menu Bar appear
not just on the primary display, but on your secondary displays, as
well. Unfortunately, after having lived with this functionality since
release, I’ve found its implementation more frustrating than useful.
With the dock set to auto-hide, it’s sometimes impossible to actually
cause the dock to appear when and where you want it.The way this most often manifests is that the Dock will decide—in what
feels like a very arbitrary fashion—that it will only appear on one of
the two secondary displays. When I mouse to the bottom of the primary
display to summon the auto-hidden dock, nothing happens. If I mouse
over to the bottom of one of the secondary displays, the dock pops up
just as it’s supposed to, but returning the cursor to the bottom of
the primary display does nothing. The workaround appears to be to move
the mouse all the way up to the top of the primary display and then
slowly and deliberately move it to the bottom—as if you’re saying
"Okay, OS X, here comes the airplane! Open up the Dock now! Here it
comes!" This usually is enough to snap the dock to where you want it
to be.I very much like the menu bars at the top of each monitor, but as with
most of the other things about multi-monitor support in Mavericks,
there’s no way to throw out the bad bathwater without also pitching
the baby with it. The only way to get the Dock to stay sensibly where
you want it to is to disable the new fullscreen behavior, which also
kills the per-monitor menu bar settings.
Is there a way to fix the Dock issue without being forced to move the mouse to the top or bottom edges of the screen to force it to move?
Best Answer
Are you using a trackpad by any chance? I too thought the way the Dock popped up on different monitors was completely arbitrary or broken, until I found out how it actually works:
This is designed like this intentionally so that as you're mousing around in full-screen apps, you don't inadvertently trigger the dock when you use controls at the bottom of the full-screen window.
It actually works really well, once you know how it works ;-)
