| Feb 23, 2021 at 16:36 | comment | added | LocalPCGuy | For anyone asking about why displays are offset, that literally should not matter. If it does, it's a BUG that Apple needs to fix (and not by removing the ability to adjust display alignment to fit our individual setups). No one should have to limit the resolutions they use on good, hi-res monitors due to some Apple bug. And we should be able to use monitors with different resolutions and position them as we have them arranged on our desk. | |

| Nov 6, 2020 at 2:03 | comment | added | Vincent | I've just experienced the same issue. Using 15' macbook with extra display, although aligned differently from op: top(external) to bottom(15'). The invisible blocking region is on bottom left on the external, and when I disconnected the external, the invisible blocking region persists and got bigger on my 15' display. Change res and alignment didn't help. Rebooted, the problem gone,... Let's wait and see. | |

| May 31, 2020 at 17:34 | comment | added | Daniel W. | The problem is too rare to try any mode any period. @Tetsujin my macbook is at desk height while my monitor is on a stand. It's not unusual at all. This is simple offset calculationi and should really have nothing to to with the problem :/ | |
| May 31, 2020 at 16:50 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Is there any reason your displays are wildly-offset in the Arrangement CP? | |
| May 31, 2020 at 15:39 | comment | added | user14492 | Have you tried running Mac in safe mode and see if it happens there as well. I would also create another user and also try with guest user if this happens if no then it's some app that's causing this. Have look at Security Preference see what apps have access to control your computer. | |

| Feb 19, 2020 at 19:11 | comment | added | Allan | Stick with Safe Mode just for a little while. If the bug shows up within 30 mins..take it to 45 in Safe Mode just for testing. If it doesn't show up, at least you know its a 3rd party app or kext and not a native Apple thing. | |
| Feb 19, 2020 at 19:09 | comment | added | Daniel W. | @Allan Indeed, it's so weird. I can't tell the effects of safe mode because it takes some time until the bug appears. I am going to try to find out what triggers this unpassable box. I have not that much fancy apps running anyways, only basic development tools. | |
| Feb 19, 2020 at 19:05 | comment | added | Allan | That's an interesting development. I would have predicted that the problem go away once you no longer have an extended desktop, but getting worse? Did you try in Safe Mode? I'm wondering if there's something being loaded that's causing this. | |
| Feb 19, 2020 at 19:03 | comment | added | Daniel W. | @Allan disconnecting the screen makes it even worse (see 3rd screenshot). When I reboot, the problem is gone until at some random point the blocking is there. | |

Can you disconnect your second monitor and see if the problem persists? Also, try in Safe Mode (Hold Shift while booting)

| Feb 19, 2020 at 18:01 | comment | added | Daniel W. | @NimeshNeema my arrangement is perfectly aligned and when I move the cursor from one screen to the other, the cursor does not jump in height. It is only the yellow framed box which I cannot access. I cannot put the cursor in the yellow/orange box. | |
