Fortunately, Apple included a toggle for ensuring menu bar items appear below the notch instead.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_Issue_Here\"><\/span>What\u2019s the Issue Here?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple has moved the macOS menu bar on new MacBook Pro models into the bezel, but they\u2019ve cut out a chunk of the screen for the FaceTime HD camera, TrueTone sensor, and ambient light sensor. Some people have strong opinions about the change, but regardless of what you think about it, problems with the notch can and do arise.<\/p>\n<p>The menu bar is where you\u2019ll find contextual controls for the app you\u2019re currently using, with sections like File, Edit, View, and so on. Most apps don\u2019t have a huge number of menu bar items to choose from, but some do. This can lead to some items disappearing behind the notch, out of view.<\/p>\n<p>The problem may be compounded if you\u2019re using a scaled display mode that makes on-screen elements larger. Older versions of apps that aren\u2019t yet optimized for the redesign suffer the most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Mac Camera Not Working?
