irregular file sorting and visual glitches

When I enter folders, the file arrangement automatically changes, which is frustrating and when I scroll, the screen intermittently flickers or has visual glitches, and the scrolling motion is not smooth and fluid.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.6

A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.


Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
