I have 27" iMac13,2 running macOS Big Sur 11.6.2, unsupported.
Characteristics occur with wired mouse or wireless Apple trackpad. Wired keyboard in use.
Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot Corners work as assigned.
In Finder, when I look at the contents of the local Desktop, there are many files and folders. However, those same files & folders aren't visible on the iMac Desktop.
If I try to drag & drop any file from the Finder to the Desktop, the file won’t stay. It flies back to its original location in the Finder.
When I click and drag the cursor using a mouse or trackpad, no shadow appears on the Desktop. Also, when I right-click the mouse or trackpad on the Desktop, the expected drop-down menu doesn't appear.
These problems aren't present in my 15" MacBookPro10,1 (early 2013) which also has unsupported Big Sur 11.6.2. When I clicked and dragged a file (OpenCore-Patcher) from Downloads to the Desktop, it stayed. When I clicked and dragged the same file back to the Downloads folder, it showed a window asking: - Are you sure you want to remove “OpenCore-Patcher” from iCloud Drive? This item will be moved to this Mac and will no longer be available in iCloud Drive on any of your devices. [Cancel] [Move] -
