Workspaces and Back buttons overlay at the toolbar if home button is shown too.

All said in the title. It doesn't happen in all my profiles, but this one is frustrating.

Here you have a screenshot with this issue and all appearance settings:

    With version 143 the issue occurs even with title bar hidden using Linux version. I had to disable vertical tabs.

      Yes, it's caused by vertical tabs, but disabling a significant feature of the browser is hardly a solution. Besides, the title bar isn't displayed on Windows either when you use vertical tabs, as far as I recall, so why is it only breaking on Linux where tiling window managers are a very common use-case?

    Settings-Appearance-Customize toolbar-Hide title bar while in vertical tabs solved for me

      It has been 2 years since this bug was reported, and this is still the only "solution" that works. Thanks for the tip! <3

        Note that at some point in late 2025/early 2026, Microsoft released an update that broke the "hitfix" mentioned above. Toggling any of the workspace/vertical tab-related settings no longer fixes the issue for me, not even temporarily.

        Now, the workspace button is even more annoyingly overlapping with both the back and the refresh button, and it displays permanently over fullscreen applications such as YouTube's fullscreen player. Thanks, Microsoft, for this amazing "improvement" after maintaining this bug in your software for over 2 years.

      Did you find a fix? Hide the title bar in vertical tabs is a half solution at best. It looks ugly
