Macbook not recognizing cursor placement/hovering
I asked this question a few weeks ago and got no responses unfortunately. Is no one else having this issue somehow? I'm not sure how this could be a problem only for me, and it's bugging the ever-living crap out of me on a daily basis.
For the past several months I have been having issues with my Macbook Pro (Big Sur/fully updated) not recognizing when the cursor is hovering over something.
For example, in both Chrome and Safari, when I hover over a YouTube video, the toolbar at the bottom where you can pause/play/maximize the screen/etc. doesn't show up. When I'm in a Zoom meeting, I'm not able to mute/unmute myself at the bottom or any of the other toolbar actions because it doesn't recognize that my cursor is hovering over Zoom.
Those are the most problematic examples, but it doesn't seem to recognize that I'm hovering over anything else either. Like if I hover over buttons that used to turn a different color when you hover over them, now they don't turn that color. When I hover over app icons in the dock, the name of the app doesn't show up anymore. Nothing happens unless I click — my computer just does not recognize that I'm hovering over anything at any time.
This is so incredibly frustrating and I have no idea how to even begin troubleshooting it. Help!!
