Brave browser not scrolling when the mouse cursor is at the edge of the window

Today after what I assume to be an automatic update I noticed that when my mouse cursor was at the far edge of the screen either left or right (which is where I like to rest my cursor), I couldn’t scroll.
I found out that this is caused by the Rounded Corners Setting and I had to disable it in the Flags page.
to the people working on Brave, please don’t make this a permanent “feature” and I hope people who face this issue find this post.
cheers.

Please fill out the template because something like this may or may not be OS specific.

I did however replicate the issue on Windows 11, and can even see why it’s not working. The “bezel” when rounded corners is on, is still present when “Maximized” (which I assume your window was when you meant by either the left or right side of the “edge of the screen”?).

The bezel itself is what’s catching the cursor from scrolling. I don’t have the last build to test to see if rounded corners did that in Windows, but DO have a VM with the last build still on it (Linux however), so I fired it up and quickly disconnected “Ethernet” from the VM so it didn’t auto update and while it’s hard to say (because it’s a VM in a window and I can’t get Linux to cooperate with Virtualbox and go fullscreen), it DOES appear that the cursor DID scroll on top of the bezel.

EDIT: The release notes for Brave state rounded corners added padding for split view for Mac OS users and referenced this GitHub Repo:

(Removed assumption about Windows, I forgot you hadn’t mentioned your OS yet, so you might be a Mac user, and this fix is directly related to you, hence we need that template.)

Thank you for this topic!! Disabling the rounded corners setting fixed it for me too!
