Screen too big, Lightroom Classic

Using 14.5.1 on a Mac ventura 13.7.8

 27" 5k retina 2017

When I open photoshop 2025 I can resize the screen with double arrows on the margins of the screen. Also, in the upper left of the screen the three dots appear: red, yellow, green as on any mac window. Lightroom CC also behaves similarly to PS2025, three dots, and a resizable window.

However, when using LrC, it "overfills" my display, no sizing dota appear. The upper toolbar, does not show the full menu

If I slide my cursor to the right side it will slide over and show, but that is at the expense of the left side, which is now off the display.

I've tried changing the size of the ALREADY TOO SMALL text in preferences from "large" (which it is not), to "small default" and that makes no difference

As I said, PS2025 behaves fine in this regard as does Lightroom CC, LrC does not.

This is a real PITA in workflow. What can I do to change this to a more acceptable behavior, like that of PS2025 and LrCC?

 

I do NOT want to change my display resolution to affect everything I do on the machine to accomodate this flaw, or bad setting, in LrC.

What do I do to resize the LrC window?

 

Thanks

Thanks, Johan, that seems to have worked! I have my three dots back!
