For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.I am a heavy iMessage user using the Messages app on my MacBook.I like to close my windows for all my apps running and Mail and Messages would still run (black dot indicator below app icon on dock) in the background and when a new message arrived, Id click Messages app and the app would pop up right away.Now in Mojave I have noticed when you close the Messages window, the app actually quits so when you go to read a new message, the app opens up first (app icon bounces on dock a few times before opening) which just takes a few seconds rather than instant.
![]() Maybe if the behaviour is different depending on the amount of RAM. Maybe they did that because the messages window is the only window left as there is no buddy list anymore now that theyve taken away Jabber support from us. Aka: open Messages, then close the window but dont click anywhere else. Messages will continue running and the indicator is still present in the dock. ![]() That just means that when you open an app next time then it will start fresh rather than opening with the last documentwindow you had open. I notice that it tends to happen after I closed the window, and then moved back and forth between a fullscreen app or another desktop. One workaround for this until the bug is fixed is to right click on the app in the dock and select Hide. Interesting observation: it stays open as long as its the frontmost running application. Presumably, Apple has now enabled support for automatic termination in Messages since you dont need to keep the window open to be notified of new messages. I think the dot underneath is disappearing, but I think the app is still open in the background as before. ![]() In previous releases, if the app was completely closed with no dot underneath, I wouldnt get any notifications for incoming messages, so I think its a bug in Mojave that the dot is disappearing.
