toolbars not offering dropdown menus

[designmade]

Working on Adobe Illustrator CC 18 (20.0.1) on a mac running OS 10.11.6. A number of my toolbars are not providing dropdown menus. More specifically, I cannot click on the arrow next to the type size to see a drop down of menu options. Noticed the same for Transparency tool; the drop down does not work so I cannot change the transparency effect. Has anyone experienced this issue and found a fix? Thanks.

Same issue for me. Absolutely confounds belief, how is this even a problem? We've had drop-downs for 40 years now. I have to constantly log-in to do ANYTHING. I have to google 'How-to's' and troubleshooting every week! But in my defense I've only been using Adobe software every day for the last 32 years, so...

So you have no drop downs in panels?

Or you have the issue with the toolbar shown in one of the posts in this thread?

Do you also have 2 monitors? Which system?
