Weird rectangles underneath and/or next to the title when using 2012 layout

Those are scrollbars.

What is your browser and operating system? An issue similar to this was happening on Windows for a while, but I thought I fixed that.

Google and Windows 11

Okay, do you know if it happens on Firefox? I just tried it on Chrome, and this issue didn't happen. I'm on Xubuntu Linux so I don't know if this is a Windows issue or a Chrome issue.

I don't own firefox. You'll have to ask someone who does

Those are scrollbars.

Also, the problem with that is that they will appear regardless of how long the title is (as seen in the picture above). Make it so that the scroll bar will only appear if the title is too long to fit in one line

That's exactly what it does, at least for me.

You are aware that Firefox is free, right? It would be helpful if you could just download Firefox to test it. Because as it stands, I don't have the issue, and don't know how to reproduce the issue, so I can't even begin to fix it. I'm not going to go through the hassle of setting up a Windows 11 virtual machine if I don't need to.

I fixed this by adding this custom css in stylebot:

yt-formatted-string.style-scope.ytd-watch-metadata {
  overflow:hidden;
}
