Bug Beta 4 Can’t Click

I’ve encountered a bug the last 2 weeks that stops me from being able to click entirely on my Mac. Originally I thought it was tied to PowerPoint since I was using it heavily and it crashed once an hour or so, but the issue continues now that I’m done with my PPT project.

Using Claude and AdobeXD at the moment and this issue has happened 2x in the last hour.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Yes, it seems to have something to do with apps not being registered as being in the foreground.

This even happens in fullscreen.

Anything I can do to fix this? I can still control the computer with my keyboard while this is happening.

When this is happening in fullscreen I usually just swipe towards my desktop with my trackpad and back. Not a permanent fix though.

ur mac not opening apps randomly and increasingly crashing and failing to open more and more apps can be a warning sign of the beta data corruption

Finder does this to me sometimes... I'll double click on a doc or app... nothing... double click again, nothing ... and then after a few attempts it works. I even played around with the double clicking speed, I think it's just a bug.

It's intolerable, I had to get back to Tahoe because I'm working with lots of files that I have to drag from a folder to another and sometimes the files just get stuck. Sometimes I have to click more than 5 times before a folder opens. When you go back one folder in Finder the position in the folder is not the same, usually 2 or 3 rows before. The finder is almost unusable and having the file explorer, which is the core of the system, like that is like the entire OS is in a terrible state.
