Well, that doesn't make it easy to debug. Please update your issue. Also, please try https://aka.ms/terminal-canary-installer

That said, I don't remember seeing such an issue before, nor can I reproduce this.

That was by accident. Sorry. Fixed.

'I don't remember seeing such an issue before, nor can I reproduce this.' I did have some autohotkey programs running. But closing them and then opening a terminal did not fix the problem.

I also can't repro this locally.

I recall there was some weird issues with like, a transparent overlay over parts of the settings tab.

• Could you try opening the settings window, and sharing a screenshot/?
• Could you try manually toggling the nav view via the hamburger menu?
• Could you try resizing the window to be like... a lot wider?

that might at least clue us in if it's that overlay, or something else.

Thanks.

Screenshot:

'Could you try manually toggling the nav view via the hamburger menu?' Sorry, I do not understand you.

Resizing the window: I maximised the window (using the window decoration) - no dice; I dragged the window until it was some 90% of the screen width - no dice.

ah sorry, this button here:

we call that a "hamburger button"
