Hi Ticla,

To help us get a better understanding of the issue, we’d like to ask a few questions.

1. Does this only happen in Numbers and Pages, or do you experience the same issue when using other apps as well?

2. Were any changes made to your Mac before this behavior began? If so, what changes were made?

3. When this happens, do you receive any error messages? If so, what does the error say?

4. Does adjusting the Pointer Control settings improve the issue at all?

The above details will help us plan how to proceed.

This link outlines how to adjust the Pointer Control settings, which may be helpful: Change Pointer Control settings for accessibility on Mac

Change Pointer Control settings for accessibility on Mac

On your Mac, use Pointer Control settings to make your mouse and trackpad easier to use, turn on Mouse Keys, perform certain mouse actions using keyboard shortcuts, assistive switches, or facial expressions, or to move the pointer using head pointer. The options available depend on the Mac you’re using.

To change these settings, choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Accessibility in the sidebar, then click Pointer Control on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)

Thanks!

Thanks for your answer,

It append every time I am using Pages and numbers, I think this append in Safari too but I am not 100% sure.
No changes was Made at all, this problem started with my new Mac mini M2 in February 2023.
there is no error messages.
there is nothing change in the Pointer Control settings for me.

I try 2 different Apple Keyboard, and several mouses and I still have this same problem.

But If I switch to my older Mac mini to edit my files ( Page or numbers ) everything is fine.

what could be wrong ?

Thanks for your time

Hello Ticla,

Since, this issue is happening with multiple keyboards and mouses, it's likely being caused by software. Given this, it might be best to contact Apple Support so they can fully investigate the cause. You can reach them at Get Support.

Best regards.
