Hi,
at some point my Illustrator Effect menu has been oversized. I think it happened with some kind of shortkey by mistake. I attached pictures of the normal type menu and of the abnormal effect menu.
I have tried to change the UI-settings from preferences, but it has not helped. It only affects the normal menus in Illustrator. Any advice?
This was solved by the 5th agent I talked to. Just switch the main display to the monitor, not the laptop screen. Not an issue anymore, but what a weird problem/solution!

That did not help. Changing UI-settings changes other menus, but not Effect-menu. I restarted my computer after the changes and nothing happened.

Does anyone have a solution? This is happening to me and Adobe says both screens have to be at 100% which is absolutely absurd.

Thanks for reaching out. In addition to Mike's suggestions, would you mind trying the following steps and see if that helps:
If this doesn't help us, would you mind confirming the exact version of Illustrator & OS?
I will be looking forward to your response.
Thanks,

You can vote up on the existing issue on illustrator voice. I just voted and they do respond when they see activity.
