Hi there @guiverc thank you very much for the response.

I filed the bug using the automated 'ubuntu-bug' program and I'll admit it's a crappy bug.

I've updated it with a concise problem description and steps to reproduce.

As to which package it's in, could you please give me any advice on how I would know? I'm not familiar with Gnome's internal architecture, so it's impossible for me to guess whether the issue might be with Mutter, the compositor, the window manager, or the Heisenburg compensator.

I've re-read that standard debugging wiki page in detail, and it doesn't bring me any closer to understanding how I can dial this problem in any further.

You'll note that 12 others have reported they're experiencing this issue. I suspect anyone who's using a large monitor and tries to use Zoom will encounter it.

I'd have dropped this long ago and resigned myself to using Windows, but I think making Ubuntu accessible to the visually impaired is important, because even if you're not disabled like me *everyone* will lose visual acuity as they age.

Again, thank you for your response and all the work you do for Ubuntu!
