Same on Linux Mint 21. It’s not dependent on a theme of browser or DE. Without bookmarks bar it even slides down into the window. It appears only without title bar. With title bar on, Brave seems to know where the corner is.

I also experienced this with the latest update to 1.60.110.

- Flatpak and debian package install are both affected.
- Classic, gtk, and qt themes are all affected.
- Release and beta versions are both affected.

As long as the title bar is disabled and the tabs are in vertical mode, the window buttons are shifted down to where it should be.

It never happened before.

I am using Debian 12.

I signed up for this forum just to add my comment to this issue.

The same thing happens to me. The control buttons to maximize, close, etc. appear out of place. Although they work well when pressed. It is very uncomfortable.
