Is this a permissions bug in macOS 26.1?

(@jmhbpc Lack of response at TidBITS might have been the Cloudflare issue, see @ace ‘s article on that ).

I’ve seen similar ‘permission’ oddities on Sequoia (only changed to 26.1 the other day, haven’t tried same actions in Tahoe):

  • trying to eject a volume using Disk Utility

Errors occur sometimes, not all the time with same file or volume, in an Administrator account, where files were created, edited, saved, opened and reopened many times.

Will try to add couple of screen shots later, need to dash now.

Here are the screen shots:
