Mac mini M4: Fiddly window resizing and disappearing pointer in Golden Gate

Problems resizing windows and columns in Golden Gate:

When I try to resize windows and columns, the little double-arrow thing is really, really hard to activate. sometimes it appears and sometimes not. it's very fiddly. I have 3 desktops set up and find that when I move my arrow all the way to the right of the screen it completely disappears and often needs a few swipes with my mouse to bring it back on the screen. I find this problem gets worse the longer I use my Mac, it's not noticeable when I first switch on.

[I have a Mac mini M4, 24 GB RAM, 2TB]

BTW an extra 60GB was added when I installed it.

I also have noticed if you use the search bar in a window the forward and back arrows (the "double arrow thingy" as you put it) disappears and if you clear the search field, the window remains a search results window but with no content. I have to close it and open a new one to continue.

there's also this... easier to show rather than explain

also I've noticed I often have to refresh a page if i click on a link as it just opens to nothing with a spinning refresh icon in the Safari menubar. also in Safari a previous site that I was able to drag images (with foreign text) into https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&op=translate now no longer. I have to use select file and then download it to see the translation. works as it should on Chrome.
