Right side not clickable, dragable

[geejay9876]

Hi,

For the last days I have had problems clicking and dragging the parts of windows which are on the right side of the screen, somewhere in the last 20% on the right of the screen. E.g. The last tabs in Firefox did not react when clicking them. Also I could not drag windows when clicking on the right side. At first I thought its an application problem but then I realised that all windows are not reacting.

This happened in windows at the front and background. Everything else worked correctly as far as I could tell. It seemed to get slightly better after closing some windows and went only away after a reboot.

Anyone seen this before ? Not enough memory for the graphics or what is the reason?

I don't know the cause and my symptoms are a little different, as it's over the whole screen, and it effects VM's even more, but it's got to be a bug in MacOS, I've had it for months. (running Ventura on both my Mac Mini Pro, and intel iMac.). Oddly Thunderbird is usually the first thing to get effected.

It acts like a memory leak in the pointer UI.

Another datapoint: When I have one or more displays connected via DisplayLink, only items on the native MBP display and the left half of one other directly-connected external (native/TB4) monitor are clickable when accessing the machine via Remote Desktop. Soon as I unplug the DisplayLink hub, I can instantly click other areas across the other native external monitors via the remote connection.

Feels like a bounding area bug in the pointer logic. I thought it was an issue with Remote Desktop, but it sounds very similar to your problem.
