New separate settings window always opens partially obscured/off screen

Since the recent update made the settings window a separate window, the window has always opened partially obscured/off screen. I am using a 4k monitor.

Steps to reproduce

Open settings window.

Did you read and follow the Troubleshooting Guide ? Yes

Expected result

The settings window to appear in a position on screen where it is fully usable and visible upon opening.

Actual result

The window is partially obscured by the task bar. It looks like the bottom edge is aligned with the bottom of the screen itself, not the bottom of the obsidian window, and so the taskbar always obscures part of the settings window. The window always needs to be manually moved in order to properly navigate settings.

Environment

It was consistently reproduced in a sandbox vault:

Did you download and reinstall Obsidian as asked in the troubleshooting guide?

Apologies!! I realize I skimmed past the word “installer” in the first step. With a new installer it seems to work correctly! I’m so sorry for wasting your time :sweat_smile:
