scrolling issue

Recently my MacBook started having a scrolling issue when I am online. I thought it was just when using the web version of AOL. But I do see it on other sites as well, not all.

It is that when I try to scroll, nothing happens until a few moments later. Sometimes several seconds.

Once again, this is a recent development.

Any ideas about what cases this or how to stop it?

MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey scrolling bug MBP M1 Pro, running Monterey 12.6 I'm seeing very noticeable scrolling jerkiness in Mail (message text pane) and Safari. When using two-finger vertical scrolling via the trackpad, the window will occasionally scroll very slightly to the left or right, even though there is no horizontally scrollable content. Then, the window jumps back to where it was when the misbehavior started, and resumes vertical scrolling. Normally, even diagonal movement on the trackpad translates into pure vertical scrolling in such a window. I haven't noticed this misbehavior in apps like Acrobat - not to say it's definitely not there, but I notice it MUCH more in Safari and Mail's message text pane. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Scrolling Issue in Stocks App After Sonoma Install (MacBook Pro) After installing macOS Sonoma, the scrolling list in the Stocks app jumps upward every so seconds, assuming you've already scrolled down. For example, if I scroll all the way to the bottom, just sit back, don't touch the trackpad or mouse, and about every 12-15 seconds, the list jumps upward about 20% of the list. It will keep doing this until it is back at the top. Gets annoying after a while. Any ideas on how to correct this? Thx! 2021 16" MacBook Pro, Apple M1 Pro, macOS Sonoma 14.1.2

Hi, Start with this...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
