By node editor you mean shader or geometry nodes? Best would be if you could upload simple .blend file with this layout.
So far I wasn't able to reproduce any issue.

Not sure I understand the sentence. What I followed is: Open 3d viewport window and press play , after I could not see any jerk on cursor movement.

@PratikPB2123 what happens when you start playback with mouse in graph editor? In my case cursor/playhead doesn't move at all. This could be bug that exhibits itself in different way on different hardware. Other than that, I see no issues.

@iss , playhead doesn't move when I keep cursor over the graph editor.

that timeline cursor

oh I misunderstood the report, I interpret "timeline cursor" as "cursor" (playhead would be the accurate word here)
I can reproduce if its all about playhead.

Yes this is about playhead. In graph editor it can be 2d cursor as well so it gets fuzzy with naming here :)

Can you reproduce twitching thoughh? I guess we could change report to static playhead position and hope this is same issue... In any case if you can reproduce twitching please confirm report.

@Dogac can you make video recording of this bug so we can better understand the issue?
