See if the problem still happens in safe mode.  Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.

You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.


You may need to use an external USB keyboard and USB mouse to coax the Mac into a safe boot.
