Any idea why this is happening since upgrading to Tahoe? The example is from Calendar but I see this elsewhere too, such as Shortcuts output windows, Shortcuts list of 'menu bar' shortcuts. I thought maybe it's text size settings (in Accessibility), but after testing different settings it made no difference. The text area is scrollable but snaps back into clipping the first line.

yeah this regressed with 26.5. under Reduce Transparency, AppKit substitutes a solid backdrop for the Liquid Glass blur layer, and on some panels (Calendar event editor, Maps location card, Shortcuts output) the first-line vertical offset is computed against the blur layer's intrinsic top inset — when the substitution happens the text gets shifted up under the title bar instead of below it. workaround that's been holding for me is Accessibility > Display > toggle Reduce Transparency off, reboot, then back on — forces a layout cache rebuild. if you have Increase Contrast also enabled, turn that off first, do the Reduce Transparency cycle, then re-enable Increase Contrast. worth a Feedback radar against AppKit/NSPopover so it lands in the right cluster — they fixed it in 26.1, so the engineering side knows the shape of this one already.
