Hi everyone,
I’m using a relatively new MacBook Air (Apple Silicon), and I’ve recently run into a strange issue. Whenever I try to open the Finder, the folder view starts flickering rapidly and won’t stay stable. Similarly, when I try to drag a tab in Google Chrome, the screen flashes and glitches very quickly.


It’s making it hard to do basic tasks.
I haven’t installed any new software recently, and the Mac is otherwise working fine. However, I did install the Rectangle app about a month ago, and I noticed these issues after installing it. I uninstalled it quickly, but the flickering persists.


Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could it be a graphics issue, or something with macOS itself?
Would love any tips or suggestions on how to fix this.
