@dandv Quick check, are you using Jan directly or through a VM?

Directly running the appImage in KDE.

Same here with KDE Plasma 6, but I've been having this problem for months (as have other users who have mentioned the problem here several times as well), but it seems that the Jan team is not working on this issue at all.

Older versions used to work pretty well with nice kwin frames and shadow, but unfortunately the designer of Jan has decided to over-engineer or overdesign this once favorite app of me in favor of mac and windows users, so that it has now become just crappy and unusable.

Over the last few months I've found myself using GPT4ALL and Chatbox regularly, and sometimes even LM Studio and Msty, but not a single time Jan. With each new version I check to see if the problem has been solved in the meantime - but nope, no chance apparently. It's time for me to say goodbye to Jan.

Merge into #4884. Jan UI / UX should be simplified.

Hi @dandv, it should be fixed in the latest release 0.6.1. Could you please check and reopen it if the issue still persists?
