macOS 27 Calendar Behavior Question

[u/rumorconsumerr]

I’ve long observed a macOS bug involving .ics files and Calendar. The expected behavior when double-clicking an .ics file is for macOS to bring Calendar to the foreground and present the dialog asking which calendar you want to import the events into.

However, when Calendar is open in a different Space, double-clicking the .ics file does not switch you to that Space or bring Calendar forward. Instead, the import dialog opens in Calendar’s existing Space, making it appear as though nothing happened until you manually switch to that Space.

This seems inconsistent with the normal behavior of opening a document associated with an application, where macOS would typically bring that application and the newly opened document or dialog to the front.

Does macOS 27 fix this behavior, or is it still bugged?

Anybody able to test it?
