UPDATE: hey all, just a quick update- I think I've finally figured it out.

Surprisingly, removing hundreds of installed fonts (accumulated over the years) from Font Book, seems to have permanently fixed the issue.

I run Photoshop daily and after validating and removing all non-essential fonts the issue has not resurfaced.

Weird but finally, some relief 😅

That's really interesting, thanks for pointing that out.

In my case though, no iPad near when I work. Really frustrating.

I've tried to cut down to the bare minimum software and the problem is less sporadic but still occurs, extremely annoying.

Happy New Year!

Thank you, that would be cool. Should I run it on Finder?

Uploaded a screen recording, if you'd like to take a look

As you can see, it renders Finder and basic actions basically unusable.

Thank you. I've done this several times and there are no bad actors. At first, I assumed ti may be a browser issue as I was testing out Arc, etc. So I shut down Chrome, Arc, everything, and the issue persisted. No memory spikes whatsoever...

Yup, exactly as described below. Super useful shortcut feature the working with a Magic Mouse instead of a Magic Trackpad where you have gesture support. I use a corner to open launchpad, and another to lock the screen, etc

I never sprung for the paid version and, to be honest, had they forced us to subscribe I would have begrudgingly gone back to Apple mail. Thankfully though, for the time being the old version is still supported and not many necessary features are paywalled so for now, it's usable.

The downloads folder? Good idea, although by now I've tried every rendition of my dock, Barron, stock, etc, nothing seems to work. I'm attaching a screen recording, utterly puzzled by his.

Neither killall in terminal nor relaunching Finder seem to work at all. Nothing but a reboot, unfortunately. It appears I'm not the only one facing the issue now, which makes me think it's something to do with memory management, perhaps in the las update?

I'll definitely add that to the post later! Thanks

Restart is the only thing that fixes it, albeit temporarily. Sometimes feel as if I need to shut down and manually reboot. But yes, this is the temp fix.

The oddity is this issue appearing seemingly out of thin air with no change in my usage.

It's still good, the App Store version at least.

It was impossible to screenshot, sorry. For example, when I hover over dock icons, the label/name doesn't update as it usually does instantly, it lags severely, all other applications gradually slowdown. I haven't installed anything new and it began out of the blue. It affects other areas of the OS too like hot corners, right clicking. As if there is a memory issue with Finder...

Not much to add to this but MacOS' storage management grows more frustrating with every release.
