Hi, I’ve been having an issue with lags when hovering over and clicking on items in the sidebars. It’s particularly noticeable when hovering over the list of folders/notes and the grey highlight struggles to keep up with the movement of the mouse. The animation for opening and closing the side panes and folders is also a bit slow. The response time in the actual note space is absolutely fine.
This keeps happening with all plugins/CSS snippets disabled and in the sandbox vault.
Not sure if this is an issue with my mac (iMac 2019 running on Sequoia 15.5) - all other apps work fine.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Steps to reproduce
Just open up Obsidian or the sandbox vault.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result
The dark grey colour that appears when hovering over folders should keep up with the location of the cursor rather than lagging behind. Animations for opening and closing sidepanes and folders should be speedy.
Actual result
Noticeable and annoying lag.
