Hi, when I launch an application with a connected external monitor (Acer) the title bar (minimize, maximize buttons) does not appear. They only appear when I maximize the application. Here is the example pic.
Note that this doesn't happen when I disconnect the monitor and boot garuda Linux on my main Acer laptop. This only happens when I connect the monitor. Also, I did not see this issue with another monitor (Lenovo).
How I resolved the issue with the old monitor: boot Linux login and then connect the external monitor, make it primary. This does not work with the new Acer monitor. Any help on this issue please?
Here is my inxi
