Hello,
Issue:
I have noticed an issue with Alfred when I reboot my Macbook Pro and what Alfred does upon auto-startup immediately after reboot. There are three potential outcomes & approx % of occurrences:
1. Alfred auto-opens upon reboot in it's normal state and normal appearance - 25% of reboots
2. Alfred auto-opens upon reboot with "Alfred Classic" appearance, which is not the setting I have selected (Alfred Dark Modern) - 45% of reboots
3. Alfred auto-opens upon reboot with "Alfred Classic" appearance AND the command bar opens and will not close - 30% of reboots
Variables to recreate issue:
I have yet to figured out which variables lead to which outcomes as this happens automatically upon login after reboot. 1 is clearly a normal state. 2 & 3 are abnormal.
How I resolve when issues occur:
When 2 or 3 occurs, the appearance setting is actually shown inside Preferences as Alfred Dark Modern (the one I selected). Simply clicking on Alfred Dark Modern again does not resolve the issue. I must select a different theme before selecting Alfred Dark Modern again to resolve. After that, 2 will be resolved but 3 will remain in the state below.
When 3 occurs, using the Alfred Hotkey, Esc, or "Toggle Alfred" from the top bar menu will not cause the Alfred command bar to disappear. It will remain floating on top of other applications. Using the command bar will do Alfred actions, but the bar will remain open and floating after Enter. The only way to close the command bar is to quit Alfred and re-open it. Upon re-open, the appearance will be correct, and Alfred functions properly.
Computer Specs:
2019 Macbook Pro 16 Inch - Intel i9
MacOS Monterey 12.5.1
Alfred Specs:
Alfred 4: The issue first presented itself in Alfred 4 (I can't remember which version it started in, but started about 4 months ago). I always installed every new update hoping it would correct.
Alfred 5: The same issues were happening in Alfred 5 as well, which I downloaded 2 weeks ago and currently run 5.0.2.
Thanks!
