How do I remove the repeating white bar when typing on a new MacBook Air?

I am new to MacBook Air.

When I start typing, such as now, a blank white horizontal bar appears across the bottom of the screen.

What I type is reproduced across this white bar.

It seems to have no function apart from making text larger.

How do I make it disappear?

Touch bar no longer shows typing suggestions Despite "typing suggestions" being checked on, at System Preferences> Keyboard> Text> Touch Bar typing suggestions, the touch bar does not show typing suggestions. I am using macOS 12.6 I have followed the instructions found at Customize the Touch Bar on Mac - Apple Support but nothing has changed. Neither the "Change Touch Bar settings" nor the "Change Control Strip buttons" sections have solved the problem.

How can I prevent my cursor from shifting while typing on MacBook Air? Everytime I press the comma key, It shifts my cursor to the start of the line which is very annoying while typing. Either it will shift the typing cursor to the start of the line of to the line just above the current line. It really sucks when you are coding and you have to use comma several times. Its happening on all the application. My mac is currently on the latest mac version of 15.2. Idk, is it a glitch or what? If there is anything I can do, please help. [Re-Titled By Moderator]

Maybe you accidentally turned on magnification?

Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Zoom

and try to turn it off
