Spaces Freeze

I have been encountering an interesting problem since upgrading to Mac OS Ventura. Occasionally (probably about 1-2 times a day) while switching between spaces using the keyboard shortcut, the spaces animation thing stays on screen and I can't use my keyboard for anything other than switching spaces.

This isn't a system freeze; applications still function, but I can't type anything into any text fields. I end up having to log off and log back on to regain functionality. This has happened with a wired slim keyboard, a bluetooth slim keyboard, and the built in keyboard on my unibody Macbook.

The article references in above relates to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 Released 2009


" and the built in keyboard on my unibody Macbook. "


The wording above " Unibody MacBook " would denote computer from " Unibody (2008–2012) "


In which case the machine would not Qualify to run anything newer than, possibly macOS 10.15 Catalina


Computer Qualifying for macOS 13 Ventura 


Computer Qualify for the Monterey upgrade


macOS Big Sur 11 hardware requirements


macOS Catalina 10.15 hardware requirements
