I can't even resize the window on New Teams and have the text reflow nicely on my Mac without massive lag.

I could resize web pages nicely 2 decades ago. What on earth is it doing that so special where it can't resize a window?

I've also experienced this on windows. I don't understand how the new version of teams, which Microsoft was pushing so hard for people to move to from "classic" teams, could be so much less usable. The "classic" version was usable and I experienced few issues, never close to the extent of issues that teams was often maligned as having, but this new version is a clear step backward in functionality.

Who ever got promoted for improving a product, compared to a rewrite which is slightly worse?

Although I would say that Classic Teams has always been terrible. Pasting in text and the formatting usually ended up getting completed destroyed. I have heard this was due to someone in the Teams group pushing for RTF formatting, and most formatting that's pasted in wasn't RTF.

Perhaps the resize operation is sending the window size back as telemetry so they can optimize for the most common.

But it is broken and sends every pixel worth of change.

Telemetry shouldn’t be a blocking call on ui though.

You would assume that…

Just because something shouldn’t doesn’t mean it can’t. Or doesn’t.

They’re probably truly Agile!
