Hi @Blnd-hussen, to help us investigate this properly, I'll need a screenshot of what you're seeing and some additional details about your system like your display scaling settings. Also which specific installer you downloaded.

Since Hoppscotch is open source, you're also welcome to search through our codebase to verify what actually exists in our source code.

Without being able to see what you're experiencing, it's really difficult for us to reproduce or understand what might be causing this, might be a display issue related to font rendering, window sizing, or display scaling on your system.
