Indeed, this points to the accessibility permissions being out of sync. To get it back in sync

  1. Close Rectangle if it's running
  2. Here in System Settings*, first disable Rectangle, then remove it with the minus button. (it's important to do both of those steps in that order)
  3. Launch Rectangle and enable settings for it as prompted.

If you're handy with the Terminal you can execute this terminal command instead of step 2:

tccutil reset All com.knollsoft.Rectangle

If it's still out of sync, you might have to logout/login.
