Ok, so I labeled this resolved because I figured it out. Yes, I understand that 1.18.10 is newer than 1.18.2. I abbreviated the number. Fact is I was part of the Microsoft insider program and they did an update. I didn’t know it was a beta, just that my version number changed and I couldn’t play with anyone. I removed the beta and reinstalled the game and everything is golden. No further need for responses. Thank you all for trying to be helpful but it’s all figured out.
1.19.81 Having this issue myself. The cursor jumps left to right and top to bottom when in inventory. Both in survival and creative games. It’s manageable with the d-pad on the controller but tedious as I’ve been playing the game for years and use the left joystick. It just began happening about a week ago.
