M2 Studio Max universalaccessd high memory usage

Hi - running an M2 Studio max 14.1.1 with 64Gb of RAM. Frequently I'm getting messages about low RAM, even though I'm not working the machine hard.

Checking the Activity Monitor shows that universalaccessd is often using 40Gb + of RAM. Killing the process solves the problem, but then it's automatically restarted shortly after, and after a while (days sometimes) it's high again and must be killed.

I've googled around - some suggestions were to disable certain accessibility features (display, keyboard, zoom stuff). Nothing has worked so far, and I've disable every option I could find.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Mac Studio, macOS 14.1
