Auto - I got it to create a canvas

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. The repro steps, version, and screenshot are exactly what we need. I can see the top edge of the blue focus outline is clipped.

As far as I can tell, this is just a visual rendering artifact with the focus outline at a fractional UI scale Ctrl+Shift+-. It doesn’t affect Canvas functionality. I’ve passed it to the team and we’re tracking it, but I can’t share a timeline yet.

As a temporary workaround, reset zoom to default with Ctrl+Shift+0. At normal scale, the outline renders correctly.

If you notice the same artifact anywhere else in the UI, let me know. It’ll help us understand the full scope.

Thanks for the quick reply. I enjoy this reduced scaling so I can live with it :slight_smile: , just doing my part.

Any questions, feel free to ask.
