Anyone else having this issue? I have two personal Macs and one work Mac, all on Tahoe, and only the work Mac is doing this, and only since the upgrade to Tahoe. It is very inconsistent but it's an issue I'm fighting every day. The many other Macs at my job aren't exhibiting this behavior, including those with the same software set. It seems to be just mine.

1. clicking on windows will often (but not always) not change to that window. I need to either click in the dock or swap with cmd-tab.

2. drag and drop between windows, for example from finder to an application, often (but not always) won't work. It won't recognize that it's over the application so I don't get the modifier graphic (sometimes a green "copy" plus or a red "move" digit). So I'll have to swap to the application and browse to the file instead. Sometimes swapping to the application and back to finder will fix it, but not always.

3. rebooting will typically correct the issue for a few minutes, but it always comes back.

I've gone through official and unofficial lists of all past PBS shows from the 70s through the 90s and none of the titles look familiar. I've read websites from PBS listing all their shows about writing. I remember the show being called something along the lines of "Writer's Workbench" or maybe "Workdesk" or something along those lines. The absence of anything like this from these lists and websites leads me to believe it may not have been a PBS show at all, but for some reason I instinctively remember it as such.

I faintly remember an animation of a book opening in the intro sequence.

It sounds like ragtime to me so I've already gone through the complete works of Scott Joplin and some of his contemporaries and it's not any of theirs, as far as I can tell.

The show doesn't matter to me, the channel it was on doesn't matter, but I need to find the name of this song so I can find a recording of it so I can prove to my 21-year-old son that I am not making this up. One day many years ago I started humming it while we were playing with a Lego set, it just came to mind as a comical background song for the Lego character mowing the lawn at crazy speeds, and we've laughed about it together, but he thinks I made it up on the spot.

Hilarious but I'm desperate now. I'll hum it if I have to but I can't carry a tune for shit so I don't recommend it. I've tried Google and Shazam with that and there are no results.
