Hi, I have changed browsers and the VRM dashboard is taking up the whole width of the page so the menu bar must be closed or I can’t see some of the dash. The zoom level changes the height of the page but not the width. It’s the same problem in Chrome but Brave is o.k. so I used to have two browsers open all the time as other things didn’t work properly in Brave but I am now starting afresh on Firefox and was hoping to not need two browsers open.  
I’m sure it’s not a Victron problem but if anyone knows an easy fix for this I would be very grateful.

P.S. the tags may be irrelevant as I can’t scroll down the list past the letter P.

I’m using reduced zoom 90% to get what I prefer.  
I’m on MacBook Pro with Retina, which allows me to get nice font quality, but I guess current VRM is more accessible, that’s why all elements are slightly larger than those with 100%+ natural vision can digest )  
I’m using Crome apps feature and zoom changes the width too - here are my examples 100, 90, 80%

Mine behaves differently when I zoom out

The height gets less but the width stay the same…

It’s Firefox 129.0.2 on Ubuntu 24.04

It was the zoom set to “text only”.

Press ALT to see a new menu appear at top of page, click View then Zoom and unclick “text only”.
