Is there an existing issue for this?

When the application is started the UI does not fill the entire window, starting from the top left corner, leaving the bottom right empty. If i enter full-screen and back it fixes itself.
Expected behavior
Fill entire window on startup.

Research direction
No source files or tests are identified. First reproduce the startup behavior on Arch Linux with an external display using a different resolution and the dwl compositor, then compare it with entering and leaving fullscreen. Done means the UI fills the entire window immediately after startup; testing the nightly version and collecting relevant logs would help narrow the cause.
