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!
TextInputMenuAgent crashes several times per day
no, I didn't install any antivirus apps
After I upgraded to Catalina macOS, the fans spin crazy and TextInputMenuAgent keep dying.. The waiting time on changing language takes up to 1 minute.
This keep happens when I restart my computer.
Try force quitting the offending process in Activity Monitor.
If it does it again, please run Etrecheck and post its report here.
Thanks I did that. It seems to work right now. We'll see.
Same issue here. I use BetterTouchTool. Not sure if it's relevant.
Force to quit the process in Activity Monitor works. But this happened several times every day. Quite annoying...
I use second language input! Does it works after you disable it? How do you type in another language now?
It’s been 4 days the bloody things didn’t come back since I disabled it. But it is inconvenient that I can use different languages input.
Try if you would like to use different languages input, just don’t show it on the menu bar.
Run Etrecheck and post its report here. Did you install “cleanmymac” or other “cleaner” or antivirus?
Hi there,
did you enable input sources for different languages?
