Jumping mouse on Tahoe MAC OS 26

[willybk3]

Installed OS 26 on 2 machines, 2025 Studio Ultra 3 and 2024 MBP, both machines do same thing, mouse will pulse, jump, then go to uper left hand corner making computer(s) unusable! Tried rebooting, un-installing logitech m3s drivers and using apple magic mouse, same thing! Very poor QC on apple's part.

try this - initially on your MBP:

1. remove/disconnect all devices in the bluetooth settings.
2. open a terminal. Type in the command sudo pkill bluetoothd and press return. Enter your password.
3. restart the MBP.
4. pair the BT peripherals and check.

On your Studio - depending the keyboard model you use - you might need a wired keyboard/mouse for step 3.

Found offending app -> Bartender 5. Quit = worked, loaded = jumping curser!

I don't have Bartender, but I have noticed the same from time to time.

I don't have Bartender, and I use a USB mouse, but I've noticed erratic mouse behavior in Tahoe. It's really annoying.

If Bartender has triggers enabled, then first thing to test would be to disable triggers.

P. S. Bartender 5 is not compatible with Tahoe. Bartender 6 should be used but it is far from fully functional even at version 6.1.0
