I wasn’t able to reproduce it in a clean install of Sonoma, so it's obviously something related to my specific configuration. But damned if I know what it is…

Still trying to track down this bug https://mastodon.social/@siracusa/110255326994000695

To review:

1. It happens only when more than one user is logged in.

2. It does not happen on a clean install of Sonoma—but it does happen on my actual install of Sonoma.

3. It happens even when the only two users logged in are two newly created user accounts.

4. No non-Apple KEXTs are installed.

Given all of this, I've been looking in /Library for culprits. Is there some other place I should be looking?

@siracusa John, when did this bug first appear for you? Like which version of macOS?

I wonder if that holds any clues, like if you have a configuration file or preference from that far back that the new system doesn’t like, or maybe there’s a naughty key or something in one of those retained files that doesn’t play well.

@nbomb It started around the time I updated to 13.3.
