Could it be that you have accidentally activated the zoom feature? Try resetting the zoom to 100% with
Ctrl+0.

Setting a greater screen resolution may help; if only to give space to make adjustments to that window.

4

it is on almost every thing I use.

5

there are not any greater resolutions.

6

That being the case, scaling, as already mentioned by Aragorn, is all that comes to mind. Try reducing it to, say, 90%.

i know on my tv and I think my raspberry pi, there was a function called htmi overscan, or something like that.

is there anything like this for manjaro?

Overscan corrected the black border frequently complained about by those using Nvidia (mainly) graphics cards, where the visible screen resolution failed to cover the full screen. MacOS needed this correction for a number of years (usually enabled by default).

I don’t believe that would be related to what you describe, and in any case, the issue disappeared with later Nvidia cards.

Is this the Overscan you were referring to, or something else?

Additionally:-

I just saw your uploaded settings screenshot.

You have your scale set at 200% – Changing that to any lower scale will improve your situation; 100%, preferably.

This alone, should solve your issue. Cheers.

something like it, but using that for a beginning search, I found xrandr. I think it will do what i want just have to figure out the correct setup.

yes, but if I change it 100%. .The icons are to small to use it as a touchscreen tablet.

That’s another separate issue for you to solve.

Reducing your scale will solve your Display cut off at the bottom dilemma. Do some research on DPI or similar to hopefully find a resolution for the apparent small icons.

You might also try using X11 instead of Wayland; however, I don’t know if that will change much for you.

Be mindful that you’re not the only one with similar difficulties; there are several related threads. I wish you luck. Cheers.
