I have an external display plugged in to my laptop, and until today the desktop environment would appear normal and properly scaled on the external monitor. However, it suddenly stopped displaying properly. I don’t believe recent updates caused this issue. The hidden parts of the desktop environment are still “there” and I can move my mouse cursor into those hidden areas. I can see these hidden areas if I take a screenshot. All four sides of the external monitor portion of the desktop environment are cut off.
I have tried different cables and different HDMI ports, and I have confirmed the issue is not with any settings on the external display itself.
I made sure the screen is zoomed out all the way by fiddling with ALT + mouse wheel.
Here is the output for
