Mouse Pointer Stuck in Editor on macOS 13.7 with MATLAB R2024a ARM Version
I am experiencing an issue with the mouse pointer in the MATLAB editor on my macOS 13.7 system (MATLAB R2024a arm version). Specifically, after right-clicking in the editor window, the pointer sometimes becomes stuck in the cursor form and does not revert to the text-editing cursor. This issue also occurs in other instances when focusing back on the MATLAB’s editor window, where the pointer occasionally fails to switch to the text-editing shape. And if I install R2020b (or earlier versions?), the issue does not occur.
Here is a GIF animation of the bug, which includes the following processes:
Sometimes when focusing on the editor, the cursor does not change to the text-editing cursor.
After changing the cursor in another area and moving it back to the editor, the text cursor displays normally.
When the cursor enters the right-click menu and then returns to the editor, there is a chance that it will not switch back to the text-editing cursor.
I have tried several troubleshooting steps, including:
Removing or disabling third-party utility applications that require accessibility permissions.
Rebooting the system after disabling all accessibility plugins or rebooting in safe mode.
I even tried reinstalling macOS and have a fresh install of Matlab R2024a without other programs installed. (BTW, it seems that macOS versions >= Sonoma have a even worth, and reported system-wide mouse cursor bug, and it hasn’t been resolved even up to Sequoia. Since I just downgraded from Sonoma)
Unfortunately, these attempts did not resolve the issue. I am really curious whether this is an issue with MATLAB or with the operating system. Although I have already tried reinstalling the system and can reproduce the issue, I am not sure if this problem can be reproduced on other Mac. This may not be a serious issue, but it’s annoying. Do you have any suggestions for resolving the problem?
