Hi all! Ever since the upgrade to Sequoia on my MacBook Pro (M3 Max 14") anything related to HDR content (photos/videos) makes the computer act funny. It doesn't always happen, but it does happens more often than not. I can't consistently make the symptoms show, or make them work exactly the same, or even in the same order. This was definitely not an issue in Sonoma. These are the problems (in no specific order):
First, the computer freezes. Something for a few seconds, sometimes it freezes for half a second or so before being normal for half a second, etc. It keeps acting up until HDR is fully switched on or off. Sometime it's fine, but then freezes a few seconds after it switches HDR on or off.
Second, the screen usually flickers, going brighter and dimmer and cycling between both. The transition between HDR and SDR is often very obvious, and can take upwards of 5 seconds, sometimes (rarely) even more than 10 seconds as it freezes and flickers. Sometimes the brightness changes several seconds after I've opened or closed the HDR content.
Finally, the haptics on the trackpad click like crazy, with the haptic motor shooting off a series of really fast clicks. How many clicks differs each time. Sometimes manual changing the brightness when HDR is on also makes the trackpad click. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the trackpad clicks during the transition then slowing down or pausing, before continuing again. Sometimes the clicks are delayed for a bit and it happens afterwards.
I see no rhyme or reason to what's going on. I tried googling this stuff but I could not find anything of use. I was hoping that I was not the only one with this, and that someone has a solution.
Thank you
