Cursor / tool flickering

[shmiths]

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)

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

I've seen this issue before. Are there any third-party plug-ins installed? If yes, can you try disabling them (Effects > Manage Effects)? Also, the like to the videos doesn't seem secure to my browser and I can't access them. Do you mind uploading them to a different website (Google Drive, YouTube, etc)? It'll help us understand the issue better.

Looking forward to your response. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Nishu
