The full toolbar is not showing because of the lack of vertical pixels on your screen.

What is your screen resolution? Elements requires 1280x800

@John Waller, the minimum specs for monitors in earlier versions was also 1280x800, but for some reason, those with less vertical pixels did not have an issue with it. As I noted in my earlier post, there have been changes to the UI in 2022 which has apparently created this problem.

Hi @Giddy_Lightning16B8 . Yes, understood.

The display resolution requirements have not changed in recent versions. So the layout of the toolbar must have changed somehow. More tools, more space between tools. Something.
