Finder fails at scrolling

In the latest macOS (12), Finder epic fails at scrolling horizontally between columns. Every time I try to scroll to the left, up the parent tree, then Finder resets the scroll immediately back to the right.

This never happened in earlier versions of macOS.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Finder Mouse Pointer I have an odd issue with my MacBook Pro's mouse pointer in the Finder window. I hope the way I explain it makes sense and somebody can help. We all know that, by default, the select pointer in Mac is an arrow pointing diagonally to the top left, eg. In Finder, if you want to change the width of a column in column view the pointer changes to a resizing cursor, eg. Once you are done resizing the width of the column and move the cursor elsewhere on the screen the cursor returns back to the default pointer. In my case, however, one of two strange things happen: Firstly, once I am done resizing the width of a column in the Finder window, and move the cursor anywhere else on the screen the cursor DOES NOT return back to the default pointer - it stays a resizing cursor all over the screen. Secondly, when I move the pointer leftward and cross the line that divides the side panel and the Finder window, the pointer also changes to the resizing cursor. The cursor also DOES NOT return back to the default pointer - it also stays a resizing cursor. Any help out there?

Finder starts to glitch more often Finder recently started to have these glitches: left side of menu bar (at the top of the screen) fails to work. while I am on other apps and attempt to click it, it will immediately change to Finder's menu. However, none of the menu options will be clickable. desktop icons will be shown over other apps' open windows. menu bar shows that I am on Finder. Not sure what exactly triggers these glitches. Force quitting/restarting Finder or restarting my mac does help, but the glitches will come up again later on, so these are just temporary fixes. I am on macOS Monterey version 12.1.

Scrolling issue on Big Sur and Monterey I have a macpro (late 2013). I was using Big Sur for a while with no issues. However, this morning I noticed that several app windows, including the Finder window automatically scroll to the bottom or to the extreme right as soon as the mouse enters that window. Further, if I try to scroll back to the top or left, the window scrolls back to the extreme opposite. It means that I can't access files nor read/edit them. I then upgraded to the latest Monterey release, hoping this bug does not appear there. Unfortunately I still have the same issue. I don't think it has anything to do with the mouse. Anyone experiencing a similar problem and/or know of a fix? Help greatly appreciated, Many thanks.
