This only happens for me when Maximized, when "windowed / restored down" it does not happen.

My screen res is 1920x1200, but also the same issue happens on my other monitor which is 1280x1024 so i think it's a maximized / full screen issue

Hi, I'm here to report same problem. Overall the top navigation bar has this problem - The Search, The new tab button, and the plugin buttons are not clicking from the first try.

Thank you.

@ChubbyNinja @hexigen do you know offhand what your DPI / scaling is set to? like 100% or 125%?

@hexigen does it only happen when you're maximized?

I'm going to close this issue in favor of #7641 (which also has reports the same). Feel free to respond there (or here too). And thanks BTW for reporting this- I have a hunch where the problem might be 😄

My DPI is 166 also at 100% scaling.
Yes I just tested again it seems to be happening only in maximized mode.
