element-icon {
    size:           Tem ;
    vertical-align: 0.50;
}

This is not valid? in your theme.

Can you please post the output of rofi -h
(it contains detected monitor layout)

I am not able to reproduce it with 4k+fhd monitor.

I'm not sure, but when I don't add >> output.txt to the command it shows up weird. I'm using rounded-purple-dark from newmanls/rofi-themes-collection

here's the output of rofi -h
if it helps, I'm using i3wm

[DaveDavenport]

thx for the paste.
Aah, that print is fixed in newer version.
I am also using i3, for me it works fine (atleast with latest version, have not tested the old 1.7.3 yet).

Can you try adding this at the bottom, I think it might get the behavior you want:

window {
   anchor: center;
   location: center;
}

This makes sure that the center of rofi is centered on the center of the monitor, even if your window resizes (and you have dynamic size window).

This has been fixed and should work as expected without extra config entry in 1.7.5.

I am confused about this:

My bad - I saw the latest version was over a year old and assumed it would be the same as the latest on apt without checking version numbers. I reinstalled using the version on github and the issue is fixed, thanks
