[IMPORTANT ISSUE] 7 MB CS:GO update removes feature from Mac OS X

Today, a 7 MB Update was released, and the only change I have seen is a fade in/fade out animation for when you close/open the game.



I don't think there was any bug testing done before this update was pushed, but there should have, because the game has an important Mac featured disabled while playing now.



On a Mac, you can literally swipe your mouse or trackpad to get from a virtual screen to another. Before, I used to do this in CS:GO to respond to a message, answer a Skype call or anything else for that matter. However, with this update, this doesn't work anymore.



In theory, it doesn't sound like much, but in practice it's something really important.



For example,

I'm in a competitive match, and I'm in a 1v1 situation. One of my friends decides to call me on Skype. Now, the damn song is playing and I can't turn it off, thus making it way harder to play, espacially when you're trying to listen for footsteps.

Or, maybe a friend of yours comes online and wants to play with you. He'll send you a message that's not on Steam (yes believe it or not you can send messages elsewhere), but you won't see them because swiping is disabled. You'll hear your friend spamming you, but you'll have to quit the game to tell him to shut up.



I have found an alternative, which is to set the game to Windowed/Fullscreen Windowed. However, this is also broken because most of the screen is covered by OS X's dock and menu bar. So if you want to do anything on the desktop, you'll have to go to settings, go to video settings, change to Windowed/Fullscreen Windowed, hit Apply, do your thing, come back, set it back to Fullscreen, hit apply again, and then continue playing. Compare this to just swiping, and I'm pretty sure there's a huge difference, especially in competitive play.



Perhaps the fading causes the issue?



In any case, I hope Valve fixes this.

Thank you,
