TextExpander Window Remains Open at Login in macOS 13 Ventura

Hiding the TextExpander Window

With the update to macOS 13 Ventura, the ability to hide windows when logging in to your computer has been removed causing the TextExpander Window to stay open. This affects not only TextExpander but also many other applications used on Macs running Ventura.

We do not currently have a fix for this in place for Ventura users. We are hoping that a future update to the macOS may correct the issue since it is affecting a large number of applications. Meanwhile, we will pursue an investigation into potential alternate solutions for TextExpander users.
