@174ceb6b I added it! We were looking for a way to distinguish the new member-specials-only feed, and I came up with the stitching (because the members-only feed is supposed to look like Alcantara, and this kind of colored stitching, is common on Alcantara in cars.
Once we had the stitching, Marco suggested that we use it (in a different color) for the regular members feed as well, to help distinguish it from the public feed more clearly than just the existing Alcantara-looking background.
Some advice for everyone trying to reproduce this bug https://youtu.be/5Aq2GZpKkLU
Log in a second user! Yes, you can reproduce it with just one logged-in user, but it requires many, many more windows.
(Also try a wired USB mouse, if you can. But the second logged-in user is the important part. It makes it MUCH easier to reproduce.)
@f89362b1 Now that I understand the issue, I’m not sure what the Feedback should say. Maybe just asking for an error message when trying to drag and drop a pet onto a person or vice versa?
I did try naming both collections the same thing, but it had no effect. The two collections remained separate despite having the same name.
When I select both collections and right-click, I don’t even see the “Merge …” menu item. It’s not grayed out; it’s just plain not there. (It is there when I select other pairs of collections, so I know it exists and works.)
Turns out the issue is just as @8a54b27a (and others) described: https://mastodon.social/@ddlevine/111182827326542972
My“Daisy Mae Body” collection is a *person* collection, according to Photos, so it can’t be merged with a pet. @8a54b27a said he fixed this by deleting the “person” collection and then letting Photos do more analysis, resulting in a new “pet” collection which was then mergeable.

The new “pet detection” feature in Photos on macOS is doing some weird stuff. It put photos of my dog into two different collections in the “People and Pets” section.
When it does this with people, I can drag one collection onto the other to merge them. But with these two collections of my pet, it doesn’t allow the merge. The drag target doesn’t even “activate” (a slight grow animation) to indicate that it can accept the drop.
As usual, no error message or explanation in the app.
@40275da3@38bc5aa1@874ff3d1 It’s Perl, which predates UTF-8, but has always had one of the best and most complete set of Unicode-related features. That “use” line at the top actually just declares that the *source code* in this file is in UTF-8 encoding. https://perldoc.perl.org/utf8
@731bb49a Yeah, I also mentioned that in my demo. Check it out if you want to see how bad it is with my Mac and my mouse and just ~25 windows. https://youtu.be/5Aq2GZpKkLU
