Question

scrollbar bouncing on macbook air m1

I having keep having issues where the scrollbar on my laptop will start glitching out. It begins by resisting when I try to scroll and then the scrollbar drops to the bottom of the page and it keeps bouncing back when I scroll back up. Then, when I try to close applications the closing sound glitches and repeats over and over again. It's a little hard to explain but if anyone has experienced a similar thing I'd love your help! It happens when I use both a plug-in mouse or just my trackpad.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hello abitconfused123,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you are seeing some issues with your Mac and how it is working. We are happy to help provide some guidance.

To start, let's try booting your Mac in to safe mode to see if the same thing happens there. Booting into safe mode, among other things, performs some system checks and clears some system caches and is a good place to start isolating the problem from. Take a look at how to boot into safe mode here:

Keep us updated on how it goes or if you have any questions.

Cheers.
