What issue are you seeing?

Issue:
When the app window width crosses a certain threshold, a layout/rendering bug appears. Window height does not affect the issue.

Symptoms:

  • In the Plugins and Skills pages, part of the UI gets covered by a blurred white overlay.
  • In the chat window, similar blurred white regions can appear near the lower area.
  • Clicking the affected area can still open the underlying popup/popover content correctly.
  • After closing or returning, the blurred overlay remains visible.
  • If I narrow the window below a certain width, the issue disappears.
  • If I widen the window again past that width, the issue returns.

Expected behavior:
Popovers, sheets, or overlays should render normally without leaving a blurred white layer covering page content.

Actual behavior:
A blurred white overlay appears at specific window widths, as if the overlay background is rendered but the content layer is misplaced, clipped, or hidden.

Notes:

  • This is reproducible on the built-in display.
  • The issue is width-dependent, not height-dependent.
  • Changing macOS display scaling does not prevent it.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?
