Opensuse 15 Window borders go over the edge of the screen

I’m using KDE, and I started using a new monitor. However, the windows go over the edge of the screen, such that I can’t click the close window button. Here’s how it appears for me:

As you can see in the top left corner the red close button is off the edge of the screen. How do I fix this? This wasn’t a problem on my old monitor that was the same resolution.

My monitor has some setting buttons to adjust that. But I suppose that depends on the monitor.

That’s overscanning at play. Are you using a TV as a monitor perhaps? It should be able to be disabled within the monitor settings itself?

Share the monitor brand and model details if you need further assistance.

I ran into this some years ago and got this advice from one of the KDE guys:

  • Boot the system, at graphical login hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, login as your user.
  • Do

rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen

Hit Ctrl-D to logout
Hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to rerturn to the login screen
Login

That fixed it. The kscreen utility will then redetect the screen resolution etc. instead of re-using the existing settings.

Yes, that is where KDE (xrandr) display settings are stored. Not sure that this overscan issue can be attributed to that though.

Thank you Knurpht, your solution worked for me.
