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?

Important update to https://mastodon.social/@siracusa/110255326994000695

The bug *is* reproducible on a clean install of macOS 14.0 (23A344).

It was not reproducible in an earlier Sonoma beta, but that changed some time between then and the release version.

At least I can stop tearing third-party software out of my system now…

…but now it’s time to try removing some hardware…

(Reminder for Apple folks: this is FB12122106.)

@siracusa maybe it’s the mouse pad 😀
