?Are you using the display on the MBP or an external monitor?

If an external monitor, are you using an old HDMI connection. If the monitor has a version 1 HDMI port, Apple and the monitor/TV industry had a disagreement on the standard and you will find that you are missing the outer edge on all 4 sides of the desktop missing.?

I have a 2009 Vizio TV/monitor using HDMI ver. 1, with a late 2012 Mac mini using HDMI ver 2 and I am missing about 3/4¡± of the Desktop on all 4 sides. The Menu Bar is missing, about half the Dock and both the lrft and right edges.?

There are apps that will allow you to customize the size in pixels, and aspect, but I can¡¯t figure it out.?

?My primary computer these days is a 14¡± M3 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.5. Safari is 17.5.

Quite frequently, Safari windows expand so that their lateral borders are beyond the edges of my screen. Shrinking them by clicking the amber menubar window, then expanding them again doesn¡¯t help.

Is there some magic I can invoke to confine the windows to the actual size of my screen?

I¡¯m also wondering whether it¡¯s possible that because I populated this device using the Migration Assistant FROM a 16¡± MacBook Pro (Intel, 2020), whether there might be some display preference copied from that laptop that is causing this.

I should note also that some other apps; e.g., Mail sometimes display the same behavior.
