Annoying “jumping" in some applications when selecting (with Wacom Intuos ?)

Hi all,


I recently bought a new Mac Mini M4 to replace my old 2008 MacPro.

The Mini came with Tahoe 26 and I noticed very annoying behaviour in several applications, but most notably in Numbers and Pages when selecting cells or text.


I use a Wacom Intuos Pro 99% of the time, but it happens when using the Magic mouse as well - but not all the time. The Intuos driver is the latest release.

In Numbers, when selecting a cell or double-clicking text in a cell, the page scrolls up at will...

When selecting text on a page in Pages, it also jumps to the top of the page or even the previous one. Very annoying and I have never had anything like this on any other Mac I ever owned.


I noticed some jumping in the browser of Graphic Converter as well, when clicking in the sidebar with your volumes and folders.


The Mini is now on Golden Gate 27, but it is still behaving like this in those applications.


Can anyone tell me what the cause of this behaviour might be?

If the behavior also occurs when using the mouse, have you tried going into System Settings, searching for "mouse", and experimenting? Changing a setting or settings under Mouse Options, Pointer Speed (or other sections) may help.

This doesn't sound like a Numbers problem. It's likely related to settings for your Wacom Intuos Pro. You might want to experiment with those settings or mouse settings in System Settings.

Hi SG, thanks for your reply.


As said in my previous post, it also occurs when using the mouse, so it isn't only tablet-related I guess.

I disconnected the tablet (I never use it on bluetooth, as it has some lag) and used the mouse, but that doesn' t help, so my question remains.

Any thoughts ?


Peter
