macOS Monterey finder spring back horizontal scrolling

I have Monterey installed. Now there is a funny Finder behaviour where when scrolling horizontally in column view it will spring back. I attached a GIF.


Anyone else having this issue? How did you fix it?


Also, I noticed that the Back keyboard shortcut in Safari ⌘[ is not working only on Apple Communities. Is that happening with anyone else?


I have been noticing a load of little behaviours like this.

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Hi there, I m having the same issue (the Finder horizontal scrolling), which started right after I installed Monterey. As a specification: I erased the volume/partition, then I reinstalled Catalina, then I upgraded with Monterey. Previously I was using the latest BigSur which it worked just fine. Also, today I realized that switching between various sound output, for example from Headphone to Mac Speakers and back does not work properly, basically I could not undo that action and after I restarted the machine it worked. However, simply restarting the machine will not fix the Finder horizontal scrolling, which it`s a bit annoying... . Hoping for a new Monterey 12.0.x to fix the bug. Cheers.

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.

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
