I’m using Windows 10 Pro, with 100% display scaling setting, on a pair of 2560x1440 monitors driven by a GeForce RTX graphics card. ---

EDIT: my inability to reproduce seems to have been related to the fact that the issue occurs in a rather specific use case (see post and link by @Timo below) ---

That happened to me once, but I can’t recall how or what led to it. ---

Yes. Repro here: > [@Menu bar display error when opening a project that was saved full screen (Win)](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/menu-bar-display-error-when-opening-a-project-that-was-saved-full-screen-win/770489): > > Turn off hub in Cubase preferences. Open a project. Maximize the project window (full screen). Now save the project under a new name. Close Cubase. Start Cubase. Go to File / Recent Projects and select the maximized project you just saved. Wait until it is open, then click on the menu. The text of the selected entry is many pixels wrong / too low. Now shrink your project window to ‘windowed mode’ and maximize it again - now the menu behaves correctly. This bug exists for many years. ---

Unfortunately, my workflow includes opening windows that have been saved maximized all the time, and I generally open them from the Recent menu. It’s almsot the only kind of project I open 🙂 (Why would anyone work with an un-maximized window?) ---

I can live with the bug, even though it’s annoying. I can’t live with fewer pixels to put my content in, though! ---

I see this randomly, too. It happens in Cubase 11 Pro and Cubase 12 Pro. ---

I’m having a similar issue (re: the menu bar’s rendering/positioning) with both Nuendo and Cubase, across mutliple recent versions, related to the position of the Windows task bar (left/top vs. right/bottom). > [@Display issue with top menu bar on Nuendo 11 (Win10)](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/display-issue-with-top-menu-bar-on-nuendo-11-win10/696882): > > Hi! I’ve had this display issue with the top menu bar for… years now, across versions, with both Cubase and Nuendo. I never found what causes it. It generally happens when opening the software, and is fixed by re-docking/maximizing the menu bar/window - but it’s a seriously annoying little QoL issue, and I’m surprised that after so many years that this keeps flying under the radar.
