        It sounds like a “zoom in” is being deployed. Try this while MM is running:

        Zoom Out = Control and - (That’s a dash/minus sign)

        Default Display Size = Control and 0 (That’s a zero)

        This should survive restart and reboot.

        EDIT

        Just thought of something else. If you played with margins in css already, you may not have cleared those changes. Negative margins would do the same thing

          Never mind about the zoom in and out. I just tested both. They both stay within the margins of the display so investigate the css further
