Safari windows exceed size of my screen
开云体育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.

开云体育Hi Jim,In either program, when the image is off screen, can you scroll to the extreme right, and select the bottom right corner of the window? If so then you should be be able to click in that corner and pull up diagonally to the left to resize it to your comfort level. Then quit and relaunch. It should remember the last window size you used. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Helping Los Angeles area computer users since 1988?

开云体育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.?

I was able to follow your suggestion, then minimize each window down into the Dock, but then 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. I cannot remember this happening on any other Mac in any previous operating system. And I do not and have not used any external displays on this computer.

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!?
