Hey,
I'm having an issue with Swift Playgrounds. On the initial project selection screen, I can't select the project at the very top. It seems to be covered by some kind of blurry overlay. Here's a screenshot showing what I mean:

I have already tried to reinstall it, but same problem. Im using Version 4.7 (2088).
Thanks in advance for your help! ☺️

Thanks for the clarification. I was able to replicate your issue on macOS 27.2.1.

You should definitely file a bug about this. It’s not clear whether this counts as a bug in Swift Playground or in macOS 27, but I’m gonna recommend that you file it against Swift Playground and we can then route it internally to macOS if that’s necessary.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

My testing revealed an easy, albeit somewhat annoying, workaround: Select the item that’s second from the top, then press up arrow, then press Return.

The screenshot in the original post is from my old MacBook Air M4. I've since upgraded to a MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro and I'm still having the same problem. As soon as I create multiple projects, I can't select the top one. See the new screenshot. On both systems running 27.2 (26B123).
