So, for a day now, my Effects menu, when pulled down, is like 1/3rd the size of the other menus. I have restarted illustrator, rebooted my computer, and have checked the user interface preferences. My illustrator version is up to date. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

Here are a couple of pictures to illustrate:

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this. Are you using a second monitor? Have you tried changing the Windows scaling?

If you are using Adobe Illustrator on secondary monitor, try using it on primary. Let us know if it helps with the menu.

Looking forward to your response.

I have this issue too. It works on my primary monitor but not on my large calibrated monitor.

Is there a fix?

Hi @CoolAF @Ross Garden,

Thanks for reaching out. The effects menu is programmatically drawn and doesn't use Operating System UI.

Our product team is aware of the issue, and we have already logged a ticket with them to improve the look and feel of the effects menu to match the latest Operating System UI, regardless of the monitor's DPI and resolution.

I hope this clarifies!

Thanks,

Anshul Saini
