dock icons don

Since installing Ventura, some of the icons on the dock malfunction, all in the same way. When I click on Message, for instance, it goes to Desktop. Same for Mail and sometimes for Word and Excel. Not always but often.


Puzzling. Anyone else have this phenomenon and a solution?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.0

I have exactly the same problem on my a-few-weeks old MacBook Pro. it is quite often (one out of ~ 5 times) on this new MacBook (much more often than my 2017 MacBook using the same OS). I tried another new MacBook Pro in Apple store and did not have that problem at all. Apple advisors said that they let their engineering team know this problem already and got a couple of compliant already. But to me it still seems quite different on different computers. They said there is no timeline to fix this.

I am still not convinced that it has nothing to do with our hardware. I will still try to test other devices to see how common this problem is. Based on the feedback from Apple advisors and Apple store, it seems that there are only very few cases in total. My understanding is that it is a software issue that only happens to a very small percentage of computers.
