Forgive me if I asked this question before - the problem temporarily slipped off my radar.
I have one Mac Pro (Cheesgrater) that has a 'sticky' mouse. That is, the mouse will just briefly stop working, about once every 30-60 seconds, only for about a second. No input is possible at that time. It's obviously super irritating while editing - or doing anything, really - you just have to wait for the system to come back.
I've tried different mice, and I've recently completely reinstalled the OS and applications from scratch, to a new system drive.
the problem happens in any software, even on the OS level.
I can only conclude that this is an issue with the CPU or motherboard. It's such that I avoid using that editing system because of this irritating glitch - but I'd like to make that room viable again, if possible, without simply swapping out the entire mac (although that's definitely on the table.)
(It just occurred to me that I AM using a USB extender to the mouse, so I may try bypassing that and testing direct to the CPU, but I suspect the extender is fine.)
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas for a resolution? old school tricks like PRAM zap also don't seem to make a difference.
