Cursor / tool flickering

First of all, I'm running AE 2025 on a Macbook Pro M3 Max, Sonoma 14.5.

Having a  frustrating issue where by the cursor or tool often flickers while trying to target a certain part of the UI.

Eg. Simply trying to drag out a layer length means the tools change between cursos / extend layer tool, which takes a few attempts to grab it with the right tool

It's difficult to pintpoint what could be causing it and sometimes seems worse than others, but maybe this is just dependant on the task I'm doing (eg. drawing masks is particularly frustrating)

Some videos here here

I dont think this is a new problem and have noticed it on previous versions, but have been trying to live with it.

Thanks for any help
