Go to your Accessibility settings and make sure that Full Keyboard Access is turned OFF.

Keyboard Errors:

There is no need to perform on the macOS. So, is this always the case? Or is it only with certain apps?

A. Apple Features:

It might be a feature to a specific app.

B. Single-Out this Keyboard:

Plug in an External Keyboard. See if that makes any difference. If so, then it is likely a hardware or software error.

C. Single-Out this User:

For troubleshooting purposes, create a new user, and then see if you get this same error. If not, then it is an error with your current user. If not, then it is an issue pertains to your entire macOS. Trash this new user you've just created. Back up your Mac: Prior to making this change to your Mac, create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the update.

D. Reinstall the macOS:

Activity Monitor is part of the macOS. So, one option would be to reinstall the macOS to fix any bugs in this app. Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Boot into Recovery Mode (Intel or Silicon).  Important: Prior to installing an update or performing a reinstallation, to prevent data loss, be sure to Back up your Mac with Time Machine.

E. Update your Mac:

I see macOS26.7 is installed. See if you can upgrade to macOS 27. Go here: How to Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Back up your Mac: Prior to update your Mac, create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the update.
