[Mod] Greymagic27 Hello, just to be sure: MCL-17432 is an older ticket for launcher versions 2.2.2529 (Windows), 2.2.2530 (Mac), 2.2.2528 (Linux), however the fix was for 2.2.27xx which was in Beta (see violine's comment), but the issue we have is with a newer launcher version, namely 2.2.3106 (Windows), so this bugpost here is a clone/re-occurrence, but not a dupe..?
I've just double checked and I can reproduce this on 2.2.3106 but not on the beta version of the launcher so it looks lime MCL-17432 still applies even though the fix versions are possibly the wrong versions.
Can you see if this is the same for you?
[Mod] Greymagic27 I'm a bit confused ![]()
The launcher update was, as always, automatical, the release version, and the generic user doesn't download Beta-versions of the launcher.
The reported bugged launcher version of MCL-17432 was an older version, and the mentioned launcher fix version was also an older version than the one we report here.
If you really want me to, of course I can download the Beta version of the current launcher to test, but even if it would work there, this doesn't make this bugpost here a Duplicate (in my personal opinion, you mods may have other rules).
I just thought it would be important to have this bug registered as re-occurring, as, going by what violine wrote, this must be the case here.
Will report back after downloading the Beta-launcher.

can confirm
Confirm also an issue on macOS Launcher "Version 973 (1)"; there's an enormous swath of wasted space. Resizing the windows doesn't help.
For what it's worth: my launcher randomly decided to update itself in the middle of the day today. Apparently it updated to the latest beta version (see below), despite me never being on the beta version of the launcher before. I double-checked in settings and as expected the beta option ("Use the beta version of the Launcher") remains untouched and still disabled, as I left it.

i can confirm too since the update.
Can confirm, currently the issue only exists in the beta.
This issue seems to have been fixed in 2.2.27xx
It was working correctly yesterday, and today the launcher showed it was updating and now it's showing as pictured. I'm running MacOS 11.2.3 (Big Sur)

Can confirm that this is fixed in 2.2.27xx. That version is currently beta-only though.
Update: This fix is still in beta only, release is still affected. Note that you can't tell what's a beta and what's not based on the version number alone.
