yeah I tried that too. Round me they say they’ve never seen this issue before and I was starting to think it was just me. I do not use zoom so it’s not an isolated issue to zoom.

sometimes I do find it’s when I’ve switched apps, e.g from pages to safari and back, but sometimes it’s out the blue.

have you reported it to Apple online too? I have, to see if they can fix the software bug. So annoying when we’ve paid so much money for the things.
