If you paid the annual developers' account fee of $99USD, then you could submit a bug report with attachments via the included macOS Feedback Assistant application.


Many of those that post have sworn that they have found a bug, and it turns out to be exactly how the operating system was written to function. As BobTheFisherman has requested, share the "bug" with us.

Please read the following user tip and restate your question/problem in detail

What Mac model and year do you have?

Did this problem suddenly appear? If so was it after an upgrade or update?

What attempts have you made to correct the problem?k


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

This thread is for how to report a bug. I have already submitted a bug by following the link provided by BobTheFisherman


But anyways, I am using a mackbook Pro 16 inch 2019 model. I was using MacOS Big Sur 11.6 Today morning I upgraded to MacOS Monetery 12.1 After that I have seen the problem while trying to setup external display. I have one Acer CB282K Monitor connected to the Mackbook.

Well, it is not an issue that is causing complete outage and loss of productivity. But it is a bug in their software where some failure in internal logic triggered that. Customer is not suppose to see this in normal operation. Since I come from Software Background I understand the value of catching a bug and fixing it. So, I thought of reporting that to apple. Issue is now gone and not holding me there. Because apple claims their products are of Gold standard such issue should not crop up. It is just an effort make their product better. I am using my precious time to report an issue for Apple..!!! I could have simply move on ignoring the issue.
