Title bars of windows break and other (probably) resolution related problems
Hey guys, I'm using Bazzite with gnome. I pretty regularly experience on of the following problems that might be resolution related since I have two screens connected (one 4k and one 1080) and switch between them sometimes:
1. The title bars of certain windows "break", meaning the width doesn't match that of the window and I can't click on them anymore. In this case I have to maximize the window via the preview feature of the task bar and the window will be "repaired"
2. Sometimes the cursor is suddenly very big in certain windows (e.g. Steam, Unnamed Space Idle)
3. Sometimes certain windows get too big or too small - in case of the Steam main window (not big picture mode) it can happen that the window gets so big that I can't see certain things anymore and have to restart steam because the window is not resizable anymore.
I attached a screenshot of the first problem - you can see two windows with "broken" title bars...
I'm not a hundred percent sure if all those problems are really related to the switching of the two screens. Especially the first problem appears very frequently.
I've tried a few gnome settings and extensions but nothing did help so far...
If I don't find a solutions for this I might reinstall and switch to KDE...

Here's the screenshot
Does this also happen if you disable all extensions?
Also, when a window gets too big, does it help to press super+up key and super+down key?
You might also want to post "rpm-ostree status -v" output and your device specs.
But generally speaking, I think multimonitor setup with vastly different res can make things look funny, no matter the DE...
