Abnormal windows and clicking even after reboot

I have a 2022 Mac Pro with M1 chip, and recently it starts doing abnormal things.

Today there's this issue with windows that're not full-screen. Whenever I have multiple windows open on the desktop, activating one window will cause all other windows to disappear. If I try to bring up a window by clicking the app, then all windows from different apps will pop up together, but once I actually do things inside of a window, all other windows disappear again.

I cannot solve the issue, so I rebooted my Mac, then something new happens, I opened up my Chrome and the log-in page is not responsive to me clicking "next". I then switch to Sarafi and the same thing happens, the website button does not respond to my click. I can click on textboxes, and I can press Enter on the keyboard to start a search, but I cannot click a button with my mouse.

I then shut down again and made sure I waited a few minutes before I turned my Mac on. This time, after the reboot, my mouse cannot right-click. Every time I click, whether it's with my apple mouse or the touchpad, the left click will be recognized as a right click.

Finally, I put on the power adapter (even though there's 80% battery), shut it down, waited for half an hour, and turned it back on. This time, all issues are gone.

I have had several weird experiences like this recently. Sometimes it's videos automatically fast-forward at 20 times the speed but most times it's abnormal behavior of the mouse and windows. My Mac is only a few months old, and I do not install suspicious software, and it's up to date. I wonder what might be wrong with it. I never encounter issues like that with my old Macbook from 2017. Do people see similar things?
