Enable Touch Bar Control by Mouse is laggy

Hello, I recently upgraded my 2019 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar from macOS 13 to macOS 14. After the update, I noticed significant lag when clicking the custom buttons on the Touch Bar using either the mouse or the trackpad — it often takes 2–3 seconds or even longer to respond. Additionally, moving the cursor left or right across the Touch Bar has also become very sluggish.

I’d appreciate some help optimizing this issue.
