Brave window expands below visible screen when side panel is opened

[jad-haddad]

After searching both issues and discussions, I haven't found any existing report of this.
When the side panel is opened (either Brave's native sidebar or a Chrome extension's side panel), AeroSpace inflates the Brave window height beyond screen.availHeight. The bottom portion of the window including Brave's own sidebar gear/cog icon and any extension content near the bottom, renders below the physical screen edge and becomes invisible.
Quitting AeroSpace immediately resolves the issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Brave with AeroSpace running,
2. Open the side panel ( on mac os using cmd + b)
3. Observe that the window grows taller, and the bottom of the Brave window (including the sidebar's gear icon at bottom-right) disappears below the screen edge.

Expected result: the brave window should remain visible on screen
Actual result: window overflows over the bottom of the physical screen

@jad-haddad, do you have "Displays have separate spaces" disabled in macOS Desktop & Dock settings?

If so, I suspect this is a more general issue involving AeroSpace and apps whose window size changes when using multiple displays with "Displays have separate spaces" disabled.

For example, I see similar behavior in my terminal apps when increasing font size (e.g. Terminal.app and WezTerm.app). When I increase the terminal font size (⌘ +) the size of the terminal window grows beyond the physical display size and spills over to adjacent displays. I would expect AeroSpace to resize the window to keep it within the size of a single display.

I'm not sure if this is a macOS limitation or AreoSpace issue. The way I've dealt with it is to check "Displays have separate spaces" in macOS Desktop & Dock settings. Note, that doing this may result in other usage differences, which are explained in the link above.

Hello,
I had the "Displays have separate Spaces" off and I turned it on and restarted, but the issue still exists.

Actually the behavior is much weirder than this. Depending on the tab open, the window will expand at different sizes when the sidebar is open.

For example when im on this tab "https://articles.mergify.com/the-next-decade-of-continuous-integration/"
sidebar looks like this, and this is scrolled to the bottom

and when I'm on this tab "https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/guide#a-note-on-displays-have-separate-spaces"
sidebar looks like this, we can see that its better, but there is still a part of the window outside of the screen
