Default Re: Big Sur Update - Graphics lag and can't reorder tracks

1. Intense graphics lag & response time - as if my entire computer was running at 3 frames per second. VU meters are choppy, scrolling up and down the session is slow, as well as clicking through menu's. CPU meters don't appear to be maxing out, but that is how it feels.

2. I can no longer re-order any of the tracks in my session by way of drag and drop. I can move clips around fine, but tracks won't move in either Edit or Mix view.

I did a full manual re-install of PT (followed these instructions ), I removed all third party plug-ins from plug-ins folder, and only thing left I can think of now is clean install of macOS, rather than upgrade.

Anyone else out there experienced any of these issues before?

Quite a nightmare here ... Running Big Sur Latest Update 11.3 and Pro Tools 2021.3.1 on an iMac Pro
Those graphical glitches and lags did not resolve ever since Big Sur 11.2.3 and Pro Tools 2021.3

I tried all work arounds and yet nothing changed ....

Try to open the piano roll for example and select the notes you got ... you would realize that the brightness of the notes is flickering ...

I think Avid has to issue a statement or anything in regards to this ...
