I've not seen that on my pi, but in case your monitor isn't properly reporting its size to the x server, you can specify it in your /boot/config.txt by these two lines, which work well for a new aoc 1920x1024 monitor. # uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus # overscan. #framebuffer_width=1280 #framebuffer_height=720 # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output #hdmi_force_hotplug=1 # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA) hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=82 # uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio # work in # DMT (computer monitor) modes #hdmi_drive=2 # uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or # no display config_hdmi_boost=4 Working nicely on my Sheldon lathes pi 3b. I've forgotten where its at, but there is a list that will let you match the hdmi_group and hdmi_mode lines to your monitor.
