This is a rare sight - the Shetland ponies are peacefully grazing with the Shetland sheep.

When I want to autofill a password, I am prompted to open Passwords to verify this instead of having the password automatically entered. I tried turning this off in Password > Settings but to no avail. Is it possible to disable this "feature"?
Correction: I was mistaken about turning this off in Passwords > Settings. It seems that this is not possible. (I erred in what I thought I was doing.) he problem seems to be peculiar to Safari. No issue in Firefox.

I'm waiting for human-usable compendium of that sloppy collection! One for each OS with chapters for device. Would make a popular website!
The "Search" function is practically useless. However, DuckDuckGo™ did provide me with lots of links to complaints about the seeming endless changes to this particular interface element. (Is there a competition in each new OS to find another way to change how the MenuBar looks?!
) One of the most interesting is "Boring Old Menu Bar". It's an enjoyable read of what can be done for free and a $10 option.

Edit: I used Reduce Transparency in System Setting > Accessibility and that solved it.

This time of year, Shetland is stunning. The light, the colours, the magic.
