Strange misalignment in recording window

[odabo]

I'm not sure when this happened, maybe with an update or me just making a mistake (I sometimes readjust to crop), but it seems I can't get a normal alignment based on my monitor's screen resolution. I don't know if this is meaningful or irrelevant however, based on my settings.

Note the pixel numbers on 3 of the 4 sides... that to me indicates either the canvas is too broad, or the red-lined area (I'm not sure what to call that) is too small, or something else, I don't know what.

Those red lines are maximized, I can't drag them out further (I'm using Alt+mouse-click-drag).

When I look at Settings > Video, 'Base (Canvas)' and 'Output (scaled)' resolutions are 1920x1080. I thought this was fine. I read an article that said "If you're not sure, just set both to your monitor's resolution". I thought OBS did this by default, and I'm not seeing how to either restore that or fix this (or stop caring). I'm going to need to crop again at some point, so it'd be nice at least to know the proper way to get things back to "full screen" recording.

My Windows (10) resolution matches...

So I don't know what's the proper config or alignment in OBS is at this point.

You're capturing an individual window, not your screen. Unless the window is in fullscreen mode, it will never match your monitor resolution due to the taskbar or other UI elements. Did you mean to use Display Capture?

Ah Good point. I think sometimes I go fullscreen (F11) so I hadn't thought about the difference.
