How do I fix Mouse Highlight issues on my MacBook?

Hi, you're running into an issue I've reported multiple times and even sent my Mac in to Apple to investigate and they've ignored my pleas for help and sent it back after doing nothing. I've submitted video proof of the issue to support and gone through a whole song and dance back and forth to no avail.

Starting in Sonoma you can replicate this issue by:

1. Right click inside an non focused app
2. Left click inside the same window to close the context window
3. Left click inside the same window again to focus the window

Your mouse will not respond properly to hover events and depending on the app may disallow clicking as well until you left click into a different app. This has NOTHING to do with your mouse or apps. I've tested on a fresh install and done a DFU restore as per Apple's suggestion. The problem still occurs. This also occurs with the built in touchpad.

There's a deep rooted problem in MacOS versions after Ventura and Apple refuses to do anything about it. Sorry.

I am one of those who was forced to downgrade to Ventura because of this issue. It does indeed fix it and I'm much happier like this but severely disappointed that it's been ignored for this long.

I'd advise you to complain to Apple support and feel free to reference ticket 102472832645. I've already info dumped everything about this issue and videos. We need to start making it known that it's an issue and it's unacceptable for them to just ignore it.

There's a number of people complaining in https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/16tgy8e/intermittent_mouse_click_issues_after_sonoma/ as well. Some of which have also sent their laptops in and have similar horror stories to share.

Yes, a lot of people, using a third party accessory ( mouse ) have reported similar issues

Have you tried using an Apple Accessory ( mouse ) to Test if you experience the same issue ?

Have you tried using a Wired Mouse even the cheapest mouse ?

What follows may not be will received by both yourself and a lot of people you have referenced earlier

Certain misconceptions persist regarding the relationship between Apple Computer and third-party devices and accessories.

These misconceptions often arise when third-party products fail to function or meet user expectations.

Apple is responsible for addressing issues with its own services, applications, operating systems, and accessories.

However, Apple cannot rectify user choices of third-party products  installed and used on their computers.

This responsibility lies solely with the third party to evaluate the performance of their products when used on an Apple Computer running the intended version of macOS.

Thanks for your response! So it seems there hasn't been a solution to this issue? I guess this is an issue caused by communication between mac and logitech mouses (Anywhere 3 also has this issue).

Unfortunately - I tend to agree

Without labouring on the point

If we use this analogy

Having a High Performance Car that requires a High Octane petro / gasoline for maximum performance

One may be able to use a lower octane fuel but the performance will never be as good
