Hi, I made an account to add to this. I am playing 1.17.1 Minecraft on MacBook Pro M1 (late 2020) with operating system Big Sur 11.6. I only downloaded the game on my Mac for the first time yesterday, and it's been 3 years since I last played it on my old laptop. It worked fine yesterday playing with my trackpad, but today I plugged in my mouse and immediately had this problem. I also found that when I loaded into my world, moving my mouse did not turn the camera unless I was clicking a mouse button, and then my character would stop performing the action until I clicked that button a few more times. It was ridiculous and unplayable. I followed the advice on her, CMD+tab ing out and in several times, closing and reopening the game, restarting my Mac and making sure not to touch my mouse while the game loaded up, but to no avail. However I did find a work around of my own, I loaded up the game and it wasn't clicking properly, so I unplugged my mouse, clicked on a few things using the trackpad, and then plugged my mouse back in and it worked fine. I hope this helps some people, but seriously Mojang, get this sorted.
TL;DR: Load up the game, unplug your mouse, click a few times with the trackpad, then plug your mouse back in.
