macOS Monterey finder spring back horizontal scrolling

iCloud Drive is not showing my documents or other folders as well the desktop files are missing. iCloud Dirve is working because important infos from apps and accounts are syncing. But if I want to open e.g. a folder in user documents or desktop all files are not visible. Seems like icloud is using a wrong account. But it is the same as on my imac and mac pro as well as on my mac mini and ios devices. Only the new MacBookPro 16 is having this problem.

Of course :-). I double checked all accounts. Strange is that the information about the used icloud storage is correct compared to my ipad or imac or all other computers. I also disabled and enabled this section again and again and nothing helps

I have the same issue - finder window scrolling keeps jumping back and really annoying.

Also - with 2 finder windows open, trying to copy a document / file from one to the other does not work. The 2nd window - where document to be copied to stays live while copying from first window and when you go to paste the item, it says you cant paste the same item into itself . . . . what is going on APPLE???

PLEASE SORT THIS OUT??

Thank you

Yeah still there for me too. Literally cannot believe this wouldn’t be the first thing Apple would look to fix.

Does anyone know if I go to the Genius Bar if they’ll be able to downgrade my OS to Big Sur?

Can’t carry on with Monterey much more.

No Fix yet. Installed Monterey completely new on a new MacBook Pro machine. Apple need to fix this. This moment Monterey is a complete Nightmare to work with. As well as many important creative programs and plugins are only running in rosetta. And they slow down my Mac Book Pro M1 Max.

The spring back issue was completely resolved for me in 12.1.

As for applications running in Rosetta, that is up to the developers putting out updates and most already have. Make sure your applications are up to date.

Anyway many applications actually run faster under Rosetta than running on older Intel macs.

Could there be a setting you have on/off that we don’t? Seems weird that 12.1 would fix yours and not ours

I can't see which setting would make a difference.

Do you also see the problem: a) in Safe Mode? b) in a new user account?

Can I get into safe mode on MacBook Pro M1? Not tried new user account

Yes, you can, but the startup options work differently from Intel Macs.

Press and hold the power button until you are presented with startup options.

If the problem is not present in Safe Mode, it will suggest that some third party software that is loaded when booting normally but not in Safe Mode is playing a part.

Similarly, if the problem does not happen in another user, it will suggest that something specific to your account (login item, launch agent) is playing a part.

I just updated to Monterey yesterday and am already being driven nuts by this glitch. Tried restarting, but had no effect. Finder seems to want to jump to the end of the horizontal scroll for the last column every time. This needs to be fixed!

I'm experiencing the same issue, which is really disruptive when working. I have to click to the top-level folder and start over to avoid it, and it happens over and over when I try to scroll over. Restarting doesn't fix it for me either. It would be great to know that a fix is in the works so we know we'll have relief soon.

Disabling "sort by" doesn't fix the problem.

Cannot believe Apple would leave something like this broken. Like everyone has said makes working on a Mac a complete nightmare.

Can only assume they don't know how to fix it themselves?

I still can't believe this still hasn't be solved. The only work around for now is to click on folders as I scroll to the left so the preview pane doesn't bounce back, or to use the left arrow key to navigate. I upgraded from Catalina to Monterey in December and I've had the issue from day 1; curious if anyone with a new macbook whose first iOS was Monterey has the same issue.

Brand new M1Max, same issue. You can actually quickly verify this by swinging by an Apple shop, just create a new folder in Downloads, and jump in that folder and create another one ... When you create five layers or so, you can replicate the spring back on their demo machines.

This is easily the most annoying of a long list of bugs that are in Monterey.

I do experience lots of behaviours that may have the same origin – It seems as though the programs refresh randomly or maybe get indexed all the time. If I have the folder open for a while I can scroll back and it takes quite a while longer for it to jump to the highest selected level.

Another issue I have with contacts – I cannot enter a new contact as it keeps refreshing an my new contact window is gone before I can finish it.

In calendar when I add new calendars it will refresh and be untitled before I can name it. (Although I cannot reproduce that right now, but observed it a couple of times)

In mail (which I have on a second screen) I see the inbox being reloaded from time to time out of the blue (not refreshing to get new mails just everything is gone for a split second before it comes back up). It's annoying there, too, when you are reading in the depth of a conversation and suddenly you are kicked out again.

Somehow I feel this is all related as it all is a reload/rebuild kind of behaviour. And it really spoiled the excitement of the new MBP...

I have gone back to Big Sur, 10 times better and quicker than Monterey.

I first backed up all my data, then installed Catalina. Wow, my 2015 MacBook Pro was super quick, had it on or half a day, but most of the newer apps I run needed MacOS 11 or later. So decided to just upgrade Catalina to Big Sur and see what happens.

My MacBook is still quick, no lag or unresponsiveness. My Apple Watch 3 unlocks my MacBook again, have no issues with music to my 2 stereo HomePods. No Finder spring back issues. I don't have any of the issues I had in Monterey. Will stick with Big Sur until the replacement of Monterey comes out in Oct/Nov.

O yes, Monterey also kept sending me notifications that my home hub is not responding, none of that in Big Sur or on my iPhone 13 Pro.
