Menu option list needs to be scrolled - Illustrator on Windows

When I click a menu option on the top bar like "Object" The drop down menu doesn't display all the options. You have to scroll to find everything. See picture 1. This is due to using the new windows style tabs I believe. The "Effect" tab still show in a more condensed fashion and everything fits nicely. See picture 2. Is there a way to make it so all the drop down menus fit on screen and I don't have to scroll all the time?

Hello @bigeasydoesit,

Thanks for sharing the details. At this time, Illustrator will display the menu items like this when working with a low-resolution display. While there is no workaround, you may create a UserVoice for this feature request (https://adobe.ly/4efUfYZ) and add your comments. Doing this will help us prioritize this request, and you will be notified of any updates.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello @bigeasydoesit,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind confirming if the screen resolution and scaling are set to the defaults in Windows display settings? Also, check if UI scaling is set to Small under User Interface preferences in Illustrator and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Yes they are set to Recommended or default.

I am using 28.7.1 on Windows 11 and under User Interface I do not have the option for UI scaling.

Is there another version I should be running?

I attached photos of both areas of intrest.
