I hide my dock, as well as my menu bar to get a fully fullscreen experience, worked flawlessly on Sequoia. But I wanted to upgrade to Tahoe because a sound interface I use (RME UFX III) apparently runs better on it (audio stutters on Sequoia, had to run in Class Compliant Mode).

But I get this HORRENDOUS bug when I go to show the menu bar, it like doesn't display correctly, and only a portion of it shows, like the bottom 1/8th, making it completely useless. It even sometimes just tries to show the text in the menu bar, without a background, on top of my light mode safari window, which makes the menu items completely unreadable.

If I go into settings and turn on "Show menu bar background" it just turns it black which I don't like the look of.

Tried restarting my machine, didn't fix it.

Seems like, at least for me, a quite annoying bug that wasn't caught :(

are other ppl reporting this? otherwise, not a bug, just an issue with your setup... in which case,might be worth starting a thread, and asking for help.

try moving the dock to another side of the screen, resizing it. try a few things to see if anything helps. you can google the terminal command to quit the dock, that might help too....
 
oops i shouldn't post before morning coffee 🙄
am assuming you've rebooted. try changing your wallpaper. try changing your screen resolution, then back again. and also, consider starting a thread so others can help.
 
your gpu? so far, tahoe's gpu drivers are not good, for me glass effect is artifacting on uhd630 / 5700xt combo
