Insomniac releases.
Insomniac 1.0.6 Follow-up to 1.0.5, fixing two problems that release introduced or exposed. If you installed 1.0.5, please take this one too. The menu could run off the bottom of your screen With Settings expanded, the panel could extend past the edge of the display with no way to scroll — which put the Setup section, and the button that enables lid-closed sessions, out of reach entirely. The panel now scrolls and never grows taller than your screen. The lid notice also carries its own Install helper button, so the fix is where the explanation is. Updating the app could quietly disable lid-closed sessions macOS locates Insomniac's background helper by an identity recorded when you first installed it, not by where the file sits. Replacing the app — which is what an automatic update does — left that record pointing at nothing, so the helper could no longer start, even though macOS still reported it as enabled. Sessions silently fell back to lid-open only. Insomniac now checks that the helper actually answers when it starts up, and repairs the registration itself when it doesn't. Your Mac was never at risk from this — without the helper the system sleep setting is never touched — but closing the lid would have sent it to sleep when you expected otherwise. Also Insomniac no longer warns that your Mac may be unable to sleep after a session that never changed the sleep setting in the first place.
