Apple Beta Releases

I'm running macOS 13 public beta on an M1 Mac Mini on a fresh partition. I opened safari and went to twitch.tv. Not 5 seconds later, "Safari is not responding".

I reported the bug. Not sure what else to do now except yell at clouds, I guess. Anybody else running the beta, please report this if you can reproduce. I'm gonna go and have a drink. Here's hoping my Logic Pro test later today is a little more successful.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Hey,
VO restart helps for the bug you describe. However I have one more annoying thing with Safari, sometimes the webpage just vanishes, leaving me only with toolbar and the scrollbar. Can you repro that?

we all know it was a vo problem. so now it says safari not responding, makes you think it's a safari problem in general, not a vo specific problem. maybe apple thinks that would make us feel better?
well, when it said safari is not responding, i took a picture of the screen and OCR it, the page loaded just fine. so safari was responding just fine, vo was not responding is more like it.

Hope this won't take ages from Apple to fix, and not to be so pessimistic here but Apple has made it clear that accessibility is not a priority at this time

A little searching found this post from 2018, but as we all know, the problem became much worse with the release of Safari v15 in September 2021. The "busy busy busy" message was replaced with " is not responding" later in 2021.

I had strong hopes that Ventura would finally drive a stake through this bug's heart. Sad to hear that's not the case. Maybe in the next release.

Changing the text from "busy busy busy" to "not responding" shows that Apple is aware of the issue. It must be quite a bug to remain unresolved for four years.
