Catalina TextInputMenuAgent and Disnoted

After upgrading to Catalina macOS, I noticed a problem. The processes TextInputMenuAgent and disnoted starts to take like 90% of CPU and TextInputMenuAgent is not responding. Then, the mac starts to heat really fast and fans spin like crazy with only 1.4% CPU left idle. This issue happened at least twice today.

Hi Mate. You are right. the problem slows down every process, heat up the CPU and drain the battery for no reason. I disabled the multiple language inputs, problem still persist - more on Disnoted. I hate very much of keep doing the force quit things. Should you or anyone still want to enjoy the Catalina, without the problem (touching wood *smile), what I had suggested (roll back to Mojave, refresh, and upgrade to Catalina) works very well. Ever since, no such problem at all. Catalina has a lot more to offer, mate. Worth considering. advise to have at least a day off just to go through the process.

I just met this issue again with 10.15.3 when entering the desktop after recovering from deep sleep.


Another issue that 10.15.3 still cannot resolve is the occasional black screen when using an external 4K monitor.


One more issue is the high power consumption in deep sleep mode when power adapter is being connected, comparing to Mojave.


I already reset SMC & NVRAM after upgrading Catalina to 10.15.3.


All the issues go with Catalina. I never met them with Mojave on my 2018 MBP 13.


Disappointed and cannot believe Apple did such terrible software work!
