White lines appear on M1 Air screen after 26.2 upgrade

After upgrading my base M1 Air to 26.2, white lines are appearing around edge of the top 1cm of the screen. These lines appear, disappear and shift while moving windows around. It's very distracting, and certainly wasn't showing up on 26.1.


Is anyone else having this issue, and is there some way to get rid of it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.2

this is clearly a software issue. If you switch on "Show menu bar background" in the menu bar settings, it disappears completely.
