Cursor glitches on macOS Tahoe with M1 MacBook Pro

As the title says, my cursor glitches on the new MacOS Tahoe. This is when using the trackpad and when using a Logitech MX Master 3S. The cursor teleports or just does not show at all.


I am using a MacBook Pro from 2020 with M1

I have looked further into the issue and I might have found the reason for this.


I had installed Bartender 5 on MacOS Sequioia and have uninstalled it to install Bartender 6 on MacOS Tahoe. This version might have been in a beta stage and was not stable at all yet. I have uninstalled Bartender 6 and now the issue was gone immediately.

Also on M1 MBP with Tahoe (26.0.1) and as I'm typing text, the cursor all of a sudden jumps to a different position in the text and I am then typing in the middle of a sentence. I have LogiOptions+ for when I have my Logi keyboard and mouse hooked up, but I see the issue when I am just on the laptop without accessories (i.e., using only the trackpad and laptop keyboard). FYI - I do not have Bartender (I use ICE now).


Do other have this cursor jumping issue while typing?
