Pointer/cursor jumping at MacMail Sonoma M2 When I am writing a message at MacMail (16.0 version but this has been happening with Monterey and now Sonoma OS on a MacAir 2022 M2) -- and just now in writing this message, I'll pause to think and when I go to continue the place being permitted (and chosen by the computer) is somewhere else on the page. It can happen perhaps when I am using pinkie finger keys: might i be activating some short-cut combination of keys that causes this jumping? I wonder also it it is being happening because I am touch-typing with a kind of old-fashioning dancing fingers kind of action, if you -- there I did it there, and the pointer on my stopping this action for a pause JUMPED up to the word "jumping?" above, in the middle of that word with the notation for a spelling correction. It is worse with the Sonoma OS -- is it perhaps because of the AI automatic correction system that Sonoma has operating when one types? It is very annoying and I'd like to learn (there it just jumped to the space here between these paragraphs -- as if it so to the last place in which a longer pause happened last) -- please help me to understand what might be happening (rather than just 'a fix' without it coming out of more understanding). I sense that it might be some behavior of mine that is trigger it.

time consuming spinning The spinning occurs almost all the time. Like just now, I accidentally add 3 ls to all, there was a delay, then spinning. In deleting a contact, I hit delete, a hesitation, a spin, then finally deleted. Right now I'm working on my contacts. I just deleted an entry starting with W. After the spinning and delete, it popped back to like the 10th A entry. I'm thinking I have some kind of virus. What think you? Just now I wanted to verify it is Monterey for a later question, spinning, lots especially when writing this, then pop up IMac hardware screen.

Shift key showing weird behavior Hi, this just happened today: the shift key of my keyboard behaves in a funny way, but only in some programs: In Apple Mail, pressing the shift key results in the message list scrolling to the very bottom, without changing the selected email. In Messages, when composing a message the shift key just makes a beep, I can't type the uppercase letter. In all other programs that I tested the shift key behaved as expected (MS Word, TextEdit, Pages …)
