Typing cursor lagging behind characters in Stickies application

I have a problem when I type something in a bullet point in stickies, the cursor lags behind the current characters being typed as I approach the right edge of the note.

Why does it do that, and how can I fix it?

Hello Michealmate,


Let's use the steps below to boot your iMac into safe mode to see if that behavior persists from there:


1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.
3. Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
4. Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again.


You can also find those steps in this resource: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


It can take a few extra minutes to boot into safe mode. Your screen may flash or flicker while in safe mode. Those behaviors are expected. Testing in safe mode runs a check on your disk, removes some cached files, and can help isolate conflicts with startup items. Once you've tested that behavior in safe mode, you can restart to leave safe mode.


Should that still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Contact - Official Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this behavior further.


Take care.
