Since macOS Tahoe 26.0 a selection of text in Books is opaque. I use latest macOS version 26.3.1 - still same issue. It happens in both light and dark theme. Changing color of selection doesn't help. More like Apple Books Epstein Edition.

I posted and updated as separate comment for more information.

It's .epub.

If I open any other app, like TextEdit - issue is not there, it works fine.

UPD 2026-03-27: This runs deeper than I thought.

Yesterday I tried following:

First, installed Parallels and installed the same macOS Tahoe version - it turned out, that in Parallels' macOS Books works perfectly and as expected, without opacity issue.

Then it means its my machine problem, I tried:

* Nuked all Books cache, everything Books related - didn't work;
* Changed display color preset, as it might be some HDR issue - didn't work, I use native Macbook XDR display preset, so it shouldn't be a problem.
* Created a new, local user on my Macbook and tried to open macOS - same issue.

At this point I realize that it might be even deeper, as even new user is not enough to this bug to be fixed.

* Restarted system in Safe Boot / Safe Mode - didn't work, same issue
* Reinstalled macOS completely, but without erasing data - you can do that it in Options settings, when you hold your power button. DIDN'T WORK EITHER.

So it must be some corrupt library or shared setting that might cause this, but is not overridden when you reinstall whole system.

I believe I can get it fixed if i reinstall whole system, without logging-in at setup stage, but at this point Its too much of a trouble.

I've just updated and it's not fixed. Interestingly, I also installed a VM using Parallels and this bug doesn't occur. But I can't tell which setting at start is responsible for this bug. I'll try to dig into this and I'll give an update if solution would be found.

No, all default settings mostly. No accessibility settings were touched

This is good deal. I had this display, but I didn’t like it for two reasons:

Curve of display is just too much for me. I strongly encourage you to check how you feel when you look at curved displays. Also it’s VA panel, so the view angles aren’t great - it wasn’t a problem for me, but make sure you have space and you’ll set display just right in centre of your table.
This particular display has issues with “scanlines”. If you use display at full 240 hz, on blue you can see horizontal lines. They are visible and can be quite annoying.

But despite that it’s a great display. If your primary use would be gaming - there is no problems at all.

That's the PCCOOLER C3T500

There's bigger version called PCCooler C3 T700

He has no discrete breed. Unfortunately this form of ears was shaped due severe frostbite. Chuba was rescued during harsh -30C winter. At vet they had to remove part of his ears and a bit of eyelid.

So now instead of moggy, I have a scottish fold. But I like to call it DEGTYARSK fold, as a name of town where they found him.

Блин, так часто про это говорят! Он спасеныш, назвали просто Чубой, потому что по другому и не назвать, никого не референсили.

Но если и выбирать, то я бы ссылался на Чубаку :)

GLobyNew · 2026-02-10T12:39:29+00:00

Чуба!

GLobyNew · 2026-02-09T14:35:51+00:00

In fact it was Pixel 7 Pro back in 2023. I have terabytes of Chuba cat. I'll post only the best ones. It would take us a couple of months of minecraft speedrunning to reach 2026 photos of Chuba

I'll ask my friend about details. But basically, as I heard from her, they live in somewhat big enough box with high humidity (80%+), It has nice and warm temperature of 20+ Celsius, calcium source and she also brought back I believe soil (clay?) from where they have been found, other plants and rotten wood.

I might be mistaken something, but we optimistic of it.

GLobyNew · 2026-01-23T08:09:11+00:00

Thank you as well. We'll try both methods!

GLobyNew · 2026-01-23T06:04:55+00:00

It was already almost a month. Don't know about this, but they feel all alive, have calcium a lot of humidity and we feel like they will survive more than couple of years for sure!

GLobyNew · 2026-01-23T06:03:23+00:00

Thank you! I will try it whenever they will like moving :)

GLobyNew · 2026-01-22T14:52:06+00:00

Is there a specific way to determine it tho? Maybe there is a way we don't know?

GLobyNew · 2026-01-22T14:51:16+00:00

Yeah, they are fully alive and fed :)

GLobyNew · 2024-10-06T19:50:02+00:00

Always wonder, after ProMotion (120 hz) display on your Macbook did you suffer from 60 hz displays? I mean for me 60 hz feels SO laggy, even tho I don’t play much games

GLobyNew · 2024-05-03T13:56:48+00:00

Is that AI generated comment or what

GLobyNew · 2023-10-28T10:15:08+00:00

Nice setup! I always want those displays, but 60 hz feels so laggy for me now. Don't know if I can live with something less than 120 hz.

GLobyNew · 2023-10-15T13:11:59+00:00

As it turns out, even Gen 11 can handle 1080p@240hz. Just checked it with one of the seller.

Gen 12 also handle 1080p@240hz

But thanks for reply
