Hmm, not easy to guess what your problem actually is. There are reasons why we provide a template for bug reports with a set of questions. My remaining questions are:

• Where did you download the installation package? From the version it looks as if it could be my experimental built. Please confirm.
• What do you mean with "earlier version"? Can you specify this exactly?
• What is your monitor configuration? Single? Multiple? Resolution?
• How did you configure the monitors in the OpenBoard Preferences?
• Can you provide a screenshot showing the problem?
• Have a look at #943: is it this problem?

Ok, I see. This is expected behavior. Let me explain:

The two grey lines to the left and right are part of a grey rectangle. You can see the top and bottom lines if you move the canvas or zoom out. This rectangle indicates a "nominal page size". It can be 4:3 or 16:9 and you can switch this in the preferences.

As there is a toolbar at the top of the application, the remaining canvas is no longer the same as your monitor, but smaller. A 16:9 area of the canvas is therefore smaller than the monitor width. This is indicated by these lines.

In the previous version of OpenBoard the initial zoom factor was not correctly calculated, so that not the whole nominal page was visible. This was changed from the previous experimental build to the current.

See PR #901 which changed this behavior because the previous behavior had issues with imported PDFs.
