Adding a New Contact Glitch/Bug

I was just trying to add a contact via "Contacts" on my MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max machine. I'm on Monterey 12.2.

I've tried both "File > New Card" pathway and the " + " button to initiate a new entry. After a few moments, while typing in the name or any other information, the pathway refreshes and I'm out of the create new field and just on another random name in my Contact list and have to start over. It's happened a few times already at different points/fields (in name or e-mail or number etc.)

I was able to do it in my phone just fine. Any help would be appreciated.
