mail.app jumping cursor

Only the mail.app is affected - new Macbook Pro 2015 High Sierra 10.13.3

Appears to affect only one of two users.

When writing a new email, focus will jump from body text to another paragraph, subject, or receipients seemingly at random. The problem can replicated. Main user was migrated from Time Machine. A new "admin" user does not display the problem.
PRAM and SMC have not been reset. plists have not be deleted.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Mail App on Mac OS Monterey 12.5.1 Has anyone else had massive wonky problems with their Mail app recently? It's just doing weird things, like refusing to mark mail from just one person as Read, and when I scroll through my emails, it shows the same body message for multiple emails unless I quit Mail and re-open it, then it works again for a minute. I quit Mail and restart it alot! I'm on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020), running, as it says in the title, Monterey 12.5.1.

The message “email_subject” could not be moved to the mailbox “(null)” Using macOS 10.14.6, on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), Mail Version 12.4 I highlight an email in my inbox. When I attempt to move the email to junk by clicking on the junk icon in the menu bar at the top, I get the message in the above subject line. So currently junk mail is filling up my inbox. I quit out of mail and then reboot the MacBook. Bring mail back up. No change. I click on the junk mailbox on the left-hand column under 'Mailboxes'. Then I click Mailbox > Rebuild. Nothing seems to happen and the above behavior does not change. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get rid of all these junk mail items? Thanks!!
