A few days ago, I installed DPP for this purpose and I found that I did in fact set nonsense focus points from time to time - probably unintentionally with my nose since I had "Touch & Drag AF" active on the whole panel. Now I switched that to "Bottom right corner", which works fine and avoids setting random focus points

I've had the same problem - nose focus points, to the degree that I stopped using the EVF. My life has been much happier since then.

Problem is, I'm 57 and to use the display for shooting becomes more and more difficult without reading glasses - and I don't like varifocals. But since I switched the Touch&Drag settings to "Bottom right" area and "Absolute" positioning, setting the AF point works pretty reliable. Regardless of that, it would of course be nice if the viewfinders on the M5 and M50 could handle large contrast scenes better than they do.
