Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report - I see the menu goes off the bottom edge.

As workarounds try:

• View > Appearance > Zoom Out to 90% or Reset Zoom 100%
• Maximize window to full screen

Can you also share:

• Your screen resolution, system scaling, and X11 or Wayland
• Exact zoom in Cursor and if it happens at 100%

I’ll confirm the bug and create a ticket once I have this info.

Hi, thanks for the tip, still not 100% functional as I have to go to super small zoom.

Screen resolution: 1920 × 1080
System scale: 100 %
Wayland
Cursor Zoom: 1.2 (124 %), happens at 100% as well
