On Mac the window buttons are missing after update

[wirdehall]

Type: Bug

After the update the buttons for closing, minimizing and setting a window in fullscreen are only showing the top of the buttons, it's like something is blocking 60% of the bottom of the buttons making it really hard to minimize or close the windows.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

@gjsjohnmurray Thank you for a quick reply!

Here's a screenshot:

This is on all my VS Code Windows after the update and I have tried to restart VS Code without it being better.
