?I noticed that the horizontal extent of the Menu Bar itself is wider than the physical screen itself (which makes me wonder again if my machine upgrade using Migration Assistant but coming from a physical screen size of 16¡± on my old Intel Processor MacBook Pro to a 14¡± Apple Silicon M3 MacBook Pro is somehow responsible.
When I move the cursor to the extreme right of the physical display, the items in the MenuBar slide so that the extreme right of the ¡°virtual¡± display is visible, and if I position the cursor immediately adjacent to the top left, the ¡°stoplight¡± buttons (green, yellow, and red) come into view, but when I minimize a window into the dock, clicking its icon to bring it back to full size, that full size is again bigger than the physical size of the display.
TidBits to the rescue!
A kind user there realized that what was happening was that my entire logical screen had been ¡°zoomed¡± to dimensions larger than the physical display, and that the remedy was in
System Settings>Accessibility>Zoom
So, things are back the way they belong. My only puzzle is that it seems that one must have that System Settings window open and manually toggle the control gestures or keyboard shortcuts in order to make the screen zoom in or out, so now I¡¯m wondering if somehow those settings were still ¡°adopted¡± from the logical screen dimensions of my previous (16¡± diagonal) MacBook¡±s screen because I set this one up using the Migration Assistant.
But, I¡¯ll be overjoyed not to be always moving my cursor to the edges of the display to ¡°peek around the corned to access the Apple Menu or the Control Panel!?
