Cursor Glitches

The cursor changes from an arrow to a small stripe when i am not typing anything in a box, and I have to click a button several times on a website page before it reacts. Because of recent problems with missing files on this macbook I suspect external interference, although the machine is not subject to any profile. What could trigger this latest glitch in Sequoia?

Test in Safe Mode. Do you have the same problem? If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, and returns when booting normally, some third party software is causing this.
