Since updating my MacBook Air to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2, I’ve encountered a persistent cursor misalignment issue:
When interacting with lists or contextual menus, the cursor’s visual position does not align with what it actually selects. The system registers the cursor slightly above where it appears, causing clicks to select the wrong option or fail to register. As a temporary workaround, I can sometimes position the cursor off-target and press Enter to select, but this is a frustrating and inefficient workaround. The issue persists after a restart and appears across multiple areas of the OS:
Right-clicking an app in the Dock to open the contextual menu → cursor highlights an incorrect item relative to its position. In System Settings menus. Even on the Feedback Assistant site when selecting issue categories.
Steps to Reproduce:
1️⃣ Update to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2 on MacBook Air.
2️⃣ Right-click on any open application in the Dock.
3️⃣ Attempt to select an option from the list that appears.
4️⃣ Observe that the cursor highlights or interacts with a different option than where the cursor is visibly located.
Notes:
- Issue is consistent across reboots.
- Affects workflow and general navigation.
- Temporary workaround using keyboard navigation is insufficient for productivity.
