Selection tool randomly sticks objects to cursor on every other click. Occurs on all files. Reinstall, rollback, cache/pref reset didn't help. CPU spikes on Mac suggest memory leak. Critically affects workflow.

Selection tool bug: every other click sticks objects to cursor, forcing placement. Affects new & existing files. Tried reinstalling, older versions, cache clear & pref reset. CPU spikes suggest memory leak. Severely impacts daily workflow.

    Hello ​@default9waigjz5482v thank you for reaching out. Can you please help respond to the following questions:

    • What Mac model and macOS version are you on?
    • What Beta build number did you first see this issue on? And which version did you roll back to? 
    • Does the CPU spike happen constantly in the background, or only when the bug triggers?

    Hello Smriti, it appears these issues occurred because of my company installing a security app called “proofpoint”. This ticket can be closed, thank you again.
