Finder, Mail and Safari Windows Pop Up and then immediately Pop Down

When I have finder open and I click on Window and then select a previous Window, it will pop up from the dock and then appear to pop back down to the dock. My only work around is to open a new finder window. Not sure how to close all of the windows as I can’t get them to stay up. Sometimes Merge all windows will clean things up a bit but not ideal.

I have been living with this awhile now, it is just getting frustrating. I keep thinking that the next update will fix it but I have been having this problem since before Catalina.

I was hoping that “Clean my Mac” would help, I run the Disk Utility regularly.

Not sure what else to try.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

In Finder - If I click on a window it pops up and then down.

Restart in Safe Mode. Does the problem still occur in Safe Mode?

Restart normally. Does the problem reoccur?

Does the problem occur in a new user account?

Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.
