      i have been using f.lux for serval years now, after updating the os i have notice that my M2 Mac mini is heating up quite alot. so i checked the activity monitor to see if i can find some malicious software. It turns out that the F.lux app is using 99% of CPU, occupying a Performance core. i have forced quited the app and the cpu power draw dropped from 5w to 2w. i would like to know if there is any fixes to the issue coming to the macOS version of the app on the latest os. Thanks alot!!

        @PeterWan there is a bug in the latest sonoma beta that causes the web view we put in our preferences window to use a whole CPU. We expect a fix from Apple soon.

            hearing that the latest Sonoma fixes this issue, so anyone affected please upgrade macOS.
