Option 1: Adjust Finder Preferences
One avenue to explore is to delve into Finder's preferences. Here's how you can tweak this:
1. Open Finder and click on the "Finder" menu at the top-left corner of the screen.
2. Select "Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
3. In the "General" tab, you can look for an option related to window behavior or focus. Sometimes, Apple adds new settings or modifies existing ones with updates, so it's worth a look!
Option 2: Third-Party Apps
There are also third-party applications that can help manage window behavior more flexibly. Apps like Magnet or BetterSnapTool provide robust window management features and might help override the way macOS Sonoma handles window focus.
Option 3: Terminal Command
If you're comfortable with the Terminal, we can explore some command-line options to tweak the window management behavior directly. This may involve delving into macOS's defaults system or using other command-line utilities to control window focus behavior.
Option 4: Feedback to Apple
Since Sonoma is still relatively new, it might be worth expressing this issue and your desired behavior directly to the folks at Apple. They are often receptive to user feedback and might even have a fix or workaround in the pipeline for a future update.
It's important to note that working with system settings and commands can sometimes have unintended side effects, so it's always good to proceed cautiously or seek expert advice if needed.
As a friendly reminder, keeping your system updated with the latest patches and fixes is a good practice. Sometimes, these types of issues can be ironed out with subsequent software updates.
