How I make the Right Click Menu display completely?

I know it's a silly one but I'm working on Premiere and sometimes I use that menu. It opens downwards from where I click and since I click it only when I'm on the bottom of the screen, the menu only shows some options and an arrow down to display the rest. What I want to do is to make the menu open using all the screen it needs in order to show every option. I know that's possible, I mean every other app does that.

If it wasn't clear enough I leave some photos. (ignore the language).

This is how it opens:

And this is how I want to open directly without me having to scroll down:

I have solved the problem simply disabling to screen menu the option to move the mouse on a near mac.
When this option are enabled i have a partial right menu' in many application Adobe or other

I have the same problem, I have tried EVERY tip in this thread and none of them work.

 

I'm on a M2 MacbookPro. This is obviously something Adobe has to fix.

I see that if you work on full screen (when the dock ain't visible), then the entire list of option will show-up at once. Hope this works for you.

Whilst this has been marked as resolved for a Mac on Windows it is still an issue and has been for the past few releases. 

WORKAROUND
On a Mac I can just use the scroll wheel on the mouse to quickly open the hidden menu features. 
On a Windows machine, I find pressing the UP Arrow once opens the bottom times that are hidden 'Reveal in Project' etc.
hope that helps someone

Thank you! That simple workaround, opening the menu and then scrolling the mouse, shows up the whole menu quickly. That helps a lot!!

I've recently transfered to mac from windows and facing the same problem. In fact the size of the bar depends on how far is the selectable object to the bottom of the screen. It opens TO the bottom, but not FROM the top. And of course the resolution has nothing to do with this.

 

It seems like a problem which is not fixable, right? Or has anyone found a solution?

The problem is that the contextual right-click menu drops down until the Dock. I moved my Dock to the right side of the screen and adjusted the Display setting to "More Space", and I never see the smaller menu. I think the logic behind is that the menu you open up by right clicking has to start from the point of the cursor and drop down until the dock.

The minimum resolution for Premiere Pro is 1920 x 1080, make sure you set your screen to this resolution. More info
The 14" M1 Mac Book Pro's default resolution is 1512 x 982 (even though the native resolution is 3024x1964.) So you'd need to change the default resolution to use the Premiere Pro interface optimally, or attach a second screen.

14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro here having the exact same issue and it's absolutely messed up my work flow. If anyone with the same model/display/res has a solution I'm all ears. This sucks 😕😕

I am also having this exact same "right-click menu" issue with M1 max macbook pro.

 

Super frustrating Adobe! Workflow is key and it takes a lot of extra time to scroll after every right click instead of the menu just fitting to the screen!

I discovered when you put premiere in full screen mode on a mac, right clicking a clip shows the entire menu.

Seems like the full screen trick does not work on my 2022 14" Macbrook Pro.

It's 100% a bug and its a real issue - wastes a lot of time. Check this out:
(All with my menu hiding @shezad5FAD  - the 2 examples are at almost the exact height position in the screen/ platform)
Contextual menu on a bin/ folder - it's fine:

I HAVE FOUND A WORKAROUND 

It's s to do with the dock options on macbook

you just need to turn the hiding (on) in the the dock preference and then maximise the premier pro window thats it...

As I don't have a mac, I don't know if this is the right solution. Hopefully those before you in this thread will confirm it as a working solution.

I think this just solved his specific case because of the monitor size he was working on. Still having the same issue. Seems like the line-height on the right click menu could be a lot more truncated in order to fit everything in. Anyone know any scripts or areas to condense context menu line height?
