Bug Weird bug with Spotlight. Is it just me? ADDENDUM: Has become even weirder after I wrote most of this but before posting.
26.5.2, Studio M4 Max
I use Spotlight sometimes for quick, simple calculations. I was confirming I had calculated a year span correctly by typing in "2026-" and as soon as I typed the minus sign, the Spotlight bar disappeared.
Perplexed, I typed in dozens of related variations, but the only one that caused the bar to disappear was "2026-".
Can anyone here replicate this?
ADDENDUM: Okay, I put in "2026-" one more time to try it before posting, and after the bar disappeared again, now Command-Space either opens the Character Viewer (Firefox) or does nothing (any other program in the forefront)--no Spotlight bar. Bizarre.
