Two cursors. One moves. Cannot Click.

I've given up. Switched back to HDMI input for the M1 Mini. My monitor has two HDMI inputs so the RPi 4 is still connected. It has been reported that using USB-C for your monitor actually improved USB-C data rates overall, making USB-C disks faster.

You can't always win, just stay in the game.

Reply of my own post to an update.

It happened again. Worse in some respects than the previous two.

So, I took a photo this time. Don't know why it was rotated on the upload, but imagine it counterclockwise 90 degrees.

This happened on wake from sleep using the watch.

The background is one-quarter size and in the lower left corner only.

You can see one cursor in the middle of the screen on the (real) left (rotated top) over the mountain. This one is static.

You can see the other bigger cursor up top of screen (right in image), It moves but is useless. No click effects.

This after two whole days of happy to have Monterey.

Sorry Apple, total fail. Maybe no total, but bad.

Never had this on Big Sur.

This is a UHD display on USB-C running on a Mac Mini M1.

Might as well stop using sleep at all and just power the thing off each time.

No. I powered off using power switch. Then powered on. Normal login. Entered the post/reply and set it to sleep.

Woke it up, it needed password.

No problem.

So, this is some weird stuff.

Third time is not the charm!

Until yesterday, the display was off HDMI. Moved it to USB-C yesterday afternoon. The cursor stuff never happened on HDMI.

If I get more incidents like this, I'll try going back to HDMI just to see if there is a correlation.

It would be even weirder if it is interface dependent.

Cheers,

SK!

Again, a reply to my post.

After a week on HDMI, there have been no video incidents.

I might go back to using USB-C, but only to see how my Roku looks on the monitor!

Oops It Did It Again.

After a full 24 hours of no weird problems, it happens again.

Monterey is a bust.

Same auto wake from sleep as Big Sur.

This new crazy.

No rotation issue this time. Imaged the whole screen. You can barely see one cursor below the big rock to the right of the lower left quadrant. You can see the other cursor in the middle of the upper right quadrant. When Monterey boots, I get the quarter quadrant in the upper left before it expands to the whole screen in what Apple calls a scaled display with more space.

Also, Monterey is now officially as bad as Big Sur in the self wake on sleep issue. I hate that.

I think the partition dismount issue mentioned might have been carelessness on my part. I take it back.

I still have not tried going back to HDMI as I need the HDMI input for the Raspberry Pi visible in the photo.

Apple seems to be focused on adding features to macos, features I never use rather than keeping it the best OS available.

Losing Ivie maybe the best for them, your touch bar problems and loss of its function should be a class action lawsuit if it affects many users. My 5 year old PC laptop is running Windows 11 flawlessly, too bad I hardly use it. Microsoft passed Apple's market cap last week. What a reversal

Big Sur and Monterey seem to have been rushed to release.

Good luck on seeing your issues get resolved.

I never saw this until I switched to USB-C and have yet to see it with HDMI.

It is possible that I did not give the Mini time to self correct as you suggest it will.

I do see the quartering on power up and reboot which passes quickly as it switches from what I assume is the default video setting to that in my preferences which sets for "scaled" and "more space" in the terms used by display preferences.

What I saw those two times was somewhat different.

Until the M1 Mini I had (and still have) a 2009 iMac 27" running High Sierra. Many changes and still the same.

I do like many of the features of Monterey (and Big Sur).

Cheers.
