Mouse is freezing when reaching and trying to hover the dock

My dock is on the left of a MacBookPro i7 with additional 32"screen on the right.

The dock is hidden and appears when reaching the left side on the MacBook.

When hovering over the dock, the mouse keeps freezing or hides, when not moving the mouse. It then is difficult to position the mouse, because as a reaction of the freeze, when i pull the mouse, it moves like a jump, so the dock hides again.

This happens since update to Monterey 12.4.

Anyone else has this issue or a solution to this, because i don't see a possibility to change it in the settings. Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

I have the Dock on the side and hidden as well. I cannot reproduce this problem.

A few quick things to test: if you turn hiding off, so the Dock remains visible, does the cursor work normally? (I am not suggesting you keep it visible, just a test).

If you restart your mac in Safe Mode, does it show the same problem?

Sometimes just restarting in Safe Mode, and then restarting normally, can fix odd issues.
