I am trying to troubleshoot some error that is causing any window on any app to quickly get grayed out for a dussin milliseconds, and at times get grayed out without getting "clicked back" again. I don't know if the issue lies in the cursor since it happens regardless of the current cursor location. It happens at least five times a day, and every time it happens it is very distracting.
I thought this could be caused by the trackpad clicking it out by itself since I've had issues with the trackpad a while back. But that doesn't make any sense since the location of the cursor is unaffected.
I have tried chrome, and other mac apps, but the error has persisted.
I have also tried full-screen mode on youtube (not browser full screen) but the same thing there.
I don't know if this could be relevant, but I have coded python a tiny bit although not more than installing a few packages. Though I coded python after this error started.
I want whatever error that causes app windows to get "grayed out" to be fixed.

I have MacBook Pro M1 Max, with two monitors, one 34" as the main monitor and one 24" as the side monitor which I use vertically, after upgrading to macOS Ventura this issue started to appear! When
I tried to watch a video on my main monitor when I switched to full screen, it was showing it sideways!
I'm a software developer so I have multiple browsers, I tried on all of them, and sometimes one was rotating but not the other, but after some time, all were rotating!
I tested Youtube, Amazon Prime, HBO on browsers, and then even the Apple TV app, they all show the videos sideways in fullscreen mode!
But it was happening only on the main monitor, not the side one, not the laptop's internal screen!
Interestingly, the image was showing normal if you moved the mouse pointer on that screen, but as soon as you stopped the mouse, the video go back to the rotated state!
One thing I found out about this was that if you restart the OS, the issue goes away, but after a few times of Sleep/Awake circles, sometimes same day but definitely the next day, it'd come back, and I have to restart the laptop again and again!
SOLVED!
It was frustrating! I called Apple support, and first, they offered to restart the OS and boot in Safe Mode and see if this happens in that mode too, I tried and it was happening in Safe Mode too!
Then the next solution was to reinstall the OS, so I backed up the data as a precaution and reinstalled the macOS Ventura, and it worked the issue has gone away!
So I leave the issue and solution here for future reference.
Here is the link to Apple Support for reinstalling the OS:

I cannot work any more with Intellij Idea, under OSX. After performing an IDE upgrade, the IDE main window (and any dialogs) has stopped responding to mouse clicks. The menu still works.
I have tried setting the log level to trace, with no success in getting any information of a possible exception when reacting to a mouse click.
The system is generating some thread dumps (a lot more under 2016.2, I have now downgraded to 2016.1.4). Is there a way to get more information to diagnose this issue?
I had a similar issue. It turned out it was my mouse (Microsoft Sculpt wireless) that was causing the issue. After plugging it out and using the touchpad, it suddenly started working. The issue is not 100% reproducible, though. It sometimes works fine, sometimes doesn't
Upgrading OS X helped once, but then the problem came back. Updating IntelliJ and even reinstalling it with removing all data never helped.
#edit: I borrowed an identical Microsoft Sculpt Desktop set from my friend - it worked fine. I bought another one for myself, and so far it works (it's been 3 months now). Weird indeed.
Win7 Directx 11 with VS 2012 -- When I let my app run in full screen on my development computer, eventually, the program exits full screen back to windowed, all by itself, and pops up a dialog telling me windows resources are running low. The dialog tells me something about turning off interactive themes or something to that end. When I run the program in release mode on one of our client machines, the app runs fine, does everything it should, but after a while, instead of popping up the dialog about windows resources, I get an exception window with exception 0x40000015 as the error. This only happens if I am in full screen, windowed, it never crashes. Event Viewer shows nothing at all about the crash. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance. Basically what my app is, is a wrapper graphics library. When it says I am using all the resources, my resource monitor shows that I never went above 20% of memory and the cpu never went above 14%. The 0x40000015 error number is rather general and doesn't exactly point me in any real direction.
This is not related to trying to exit an app in full screen, as that I have the code required to prevent the exception related to that problem.

It turned out to be a component issue on the target platform. The ReportLiveDeviceObjects info was helpful and will continue to help down the line.
I am trying to resolve a Bonjour network service, and there is a bug in my netServiceDidResolveAddress: handler, a null reference exception. When I run the app, it hits the bug, and Xcode drops into the debugger, showing the offending line and "Thread 1: Program received signal: EXC_BAD_ACCESS". All fine.
But when it does this, my entire system hangs. Not just Xcode, but the entire OS X UI is frozen. The mouse moves, and music and other background tasks seem to continue, but the UI is completely unresponsive. The only way out is a hard reboot of the entire system. Yikes.
I do a fair amount of low-level programming and this is happening more often than I'd like. I've seen the other questions here about Xcode itself freezing on breakpoints and exceptions but nothing about a full system hang.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions on recovering (or avoiding the issue entirely)?
Ever since Flash Player 10 came out, the debugger version causes what seems like a crash in my browser, either Safari, or Firefox, on Mac OS X. It's been consistently happening with 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2.
And it's not just on the applications I develop. Six or seven times out of ten, when I visit sites like Gamespot with Flash video delivery and a banner ad or two, the debugger kicks out an error and, upon dismissing that error, I can't regain focus of my browser. Clicking a window does nothing but trigger the Mac OS X error sound. I have to force-quit and start again.
The Adobe forums have been no help, and everything else I've seen relative to the debugger crash issues doesn't seem to solve my problem. Any ideas?
I'm not sure if this works on a Mac as well, but on a Windows machine, this hack saved me already some time: Often it is just enough to kill the task "plugin-container.exe". This will stop all flash movies immediately and unfreeze your browser. So you can work on without losing all work done in other browser tabs and waiting for your browser to restart.
