After updating latest version 11.3(Big Sur), my display doesn't fit in the screen. either left or right side is cut off.

I updated to the latest version 11.3(Big Sur) today. After a successful update, I see my display window/panel doesn't fit in the screen. either left or right is cut off.

I need to move to top left or top right to see the content.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.3

buggy display Howdy Good People! My screen display is a bit off. At times, the whole display is too high - so the top part of the menu bar is hidden, and there's some space (that shouldn't be there) under the doc. If I play with it, it moves back down to the right place. There are also slight distortions in apperance of text. It's not a big deal, but it's an indication that something's not quite right. I updated Big Sur (the most recent update) - didn't help. I ran First Aid - it said everything looks ok. Anyone have/had a similar issue?

macOS Big Sur 11.6 Upgrade Issue I recently upgraded to MacOS 11.6 and am no longer able to view the left-most portion of any screen. More than aesthetics, I can no longer use anything that initiates from the left side of any app or screen. I can resize a screen, for example, but all header and footer locked icons and menu items are not resizable, and thus no longer available. Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, any suggestions? I'm not new to Mac, but am new to this community.

Macbook in-built display shows closed applications translucently I updgraded my Macbook pro to Big Sur (11.5.2) a couple of weeks back. I don't know if that's what caused this issue, since last week the in-built display (external display is fine) has become translucent and shows apps that I have already closed. As you can see in the attached photo, I have the Terminal app open but I can still see a Safari window of the Wikipedia homepage as well other apps I had already closed. Apple Support suggested booting in Safe Mode, Resetting NVRAM and Resetting SMC - none of this resolved the issue. It looks to me like a software issue and the display's memory has probably not been flushed out completely when switching windows or closing apps. Any advice on how I can fix this? Thanks.

Try Window > Zoom if menu bar is accessible.

Move mouse pointer to the corner of the window if visible, and drag inward.

Try minimizing the window. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/work-with-app-windows-mchlp2469/mac
