Mouse hijack while open on Mac OS

For as long as I can remember, my Lightroom CC has been having an issue with mouse hijacking whenever it is open. The mouse will randomly relocate to the bottom left of the screen, then if I try to move it, it will reset it back to the bottom left of the screen. The only way to get around it is to wait for several seconds, then it will release it back and I can start using it again. It will randomly do this while using the app, or even other apps, as long as Lightroom is open. If I hide Lightroom (cmd + h) and use other apps, it no longer causes the issue.

 

I am currently using a Macbook Pro with Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1 and Lightroom CC version 7.5. Don't tell me this is because my software isn't up to date, since I upgraded to Monterey when it was new and the problem was not resolved.

Hi @chadwithuhc! Welcome to the community!

The current version of Lightroom is 8.2. Could you please update to the most recent version and see if that helps?

Thanks a bunch!

I have updated to Mac OS Sequoia 15.4.1 and Lightroom 8.2 and the issue is fixed. This is the first time an upgrade has fixed it. Excellent.

 

I have lots of other problems with the app I will put in separate threads though.
