      Yeah probably got to reboot for that. I didn't bother looking at the theme when you ruled it out, I probably wouldn't be able to notice anything anyway. Glad you figured it out.

        Hi all, I found out that the problem occurs when the RPi4 is configured to display 4K. If you change the /boot/config.txt and force 1080p, the problem goes away.

              @shavecat I'm fairly certain my issue was related to the theme I was using, try switching back to carbon theme, reboot your pi and see if that fixes it.
