2019 retina display is offsetting slightly

In the last week or two I have noticed that my display is bouncing or offsetting. What I mean is the display is shifting so that the menu bar at the top of the screen almost disappears. As I type this the display is shifted to the right so that the "M" on "PM" is hard to see. This is a recent issue. I am running OS v 15.3.2, 27"etina display at 5120 x 2880 using the default display settings.

iMac 27″, macOS 15.3

I solved the problem. After trolling around the internet this morning I saw one suggestion that the home screen might be slightly zoomed out. The solution was to go into settings > accessibility > zoom > uncheck "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom".


That fixed it.


Not sure how I had accidentally zoomed out but am happy that I didn't need to schlep the computer to the local Apple Store.
