Long black bar appears on the upside of the browser

 

Like above, sometimes there appears a black bar and it does not disappear after restart the browser.

 

Summary

  • This only occurs when the window is maximized.
  • Interaction with interface elements hidden by that bar is unavailable.
  • Killing all chromium-edge related process and restarting browser does not clear that box.
    But rebooting the computer is effective. "Log out and Re-login without reboot" is not tested.
  • Sometimes the box is white. In this case, it works as "nothing in there".
    This means if I open an powershell and maximize the window, and then open edge with white box, then dragging from the browser title bar (tab list) position to downside make "the powershell window" comes out with its title bar grabbed.

 

My environment

  • Edge : 79.0.308.1 (official build) dev (64bit)
  • Windows : 10 Pro, 1903, 18362.10024

  • GPU : NVIDIA GTX1070 with 432.00 driver

 

Anyone have same problem?

    @Shakk I have similar issues that just start recently around a couple of weeks. I have multiple screens but the "maximum black bar" only happens on my primary screen. If I turn off one of the other screens, the "maximum black bar" will disappear, and everything back to normal even if I turn on that screen back. I suspect that might be due to the video card driver or setting issue.  My Video card is nVidia Quadro RTX 6000 with driver ver. 531.41.

    Hi,

    I have same problem here. I am running Version 81.0.381.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) and Windows 1909. Restarting PC didn't resolve the issue.

    I am using two displays (in extend mode). If i get the browser window to my second display it is ok but when maximize window on main display black bar appears again. I removed second display (did PC screen only) and add it again (to extend mode) issue resolved.

        Deleted I can but i don't know how to recreate issue, it happens randomly so i can't approve it resolved or not. I will inform you if it happens again or find how to recreate.
