Hi together,
I’m currently running Manjaro Gnome (3.38) with kernel 5.9 and Nvidia- drivers 455.45 for my NVIDIA GTX780. I only do have 1 display connected via DP - an Alienware 3420DW running at its native 3440x1440 resolution.
My issue is, that all application windows seem to use a wrong window height - this means that e.g. within Libreoffice / Firefox or Thunderbird the bottom- menu bar of the application is not visible in maximized windows.
One thing I noticed is that the mouse pointer however seems not to be affected - I can barely see its tip when on the bottom end of my workspace/ windows.
After doing some research I found the following Arch- forum thread where a user is having exactly the same problem (I can’t post links yet - the archlinux forum topic id is 260094).
Unfortunately no solution was found for him - he gave up and switchted to KDE what fixed the problem. Note that before switching to Manjaro 2 weeks ago I was using Debian stable with Gnome and did not have any issues.
I already tried all suggested work- arounds w.r.t panning out of the Arch- Forum- Link but nothing worked for me. Since the mouse pointer seems to be visible I do not think that a wrong panning option is causing this (kind of confirmed by the arch- user that has no issues after switching to KDE - his XRANDR output “panning 3440x1567+0+0” however did not change between Gnome and KDE ).
Any help is appreciated!
