Contacts MacOS: made unusable?

Anyone else having issues with Contacts on MacOS?

Behavior is awful. It randomly jumps to other contacts when I'm typing in a new contact.

I can't drag contacts to lists.

What is going on?

Editing contacts in iMac Why is editing contact information in iMac so glitchy? I can barely type two or three words before the cursor disappears and I have to use the mouse to reinsert the cursor where I was just typing. VERY frustrating. I have my contacts shared with my iPone and iPad and all connected to iCloud. Currently running Ventura 13.2.1, but it doesn't matter what op sys I'm running. Have had this issue with earlier sys's too.

Cannot create contacts in Mac Contacts App This has been a long standing unresolved issue affecting basic functionality of the MacOS Contacts app. When you try to create a new contact, the Create Form suddenly disappears in the middle of entering information about the contact. Below is an example of what happens. Notice how in the middle of typing the phone number, the new contact form suddenly disappears. Here is a thread showing many people having the same problem: https://support.google.com/mail/thread/41817629/can-t-added-new-contact-on-mac-using-the-mac-contact-app?hl=en Posting this here in hopes that someone at Apple will escalate this issue. This has happened on many versions of MacOS for me. I'm currently on the most recent release, Ventura 13.4 (22F66).

Contacts app keeps crashing when adding a new contact in macOS Monterey 12.5.1 The Contacts app crashes every time a new contact is been added When I select the plus sing (+) the new contact window appears and after a few seconds the entire app crashes. I'm using macOS Monterey 12.5.1with a Google Workplace account for email and contacts. Apparently this is an issue that has been detected in the past but no solution has been found Can anyone help with this? Thanks,

What type of account is it? Gmail doesn’t work very well with it, likely for the same reasons Gmail doesn’t work well with Mail.
