Man.. it has been around for a while...

"Sheets always uncurl in Metal apps(Finder, Safari, Etc..). In Aqua apps(Text Edit, Preview, Etc..) the sheets comes straight down like normal(but with the dynamic drop shadow as they come down). But if a window is too small for the save dialog to come straight down, they uncurl as all Metal app sheets do."

I believe that they took out all the uncurling in later builds. So sheets are just faster in later builds. This is just what I heard...but hey - is it really right to nitpick about this kind of stuff in beta builds?

in 80, they still fold down in aqua apps, as well as slide down.

This discussion should take place in the "7B80" thread.
