Has anyone else had this issue? As you can see in the images attached, the dropdown menu for character select is oversized and cuts off. There is no scrolling on it either. I've already tried all the settings on the User Interface Panel. I have also set the scaling to 100% on my PC, and it did not fix the issue either. 

 

Does anyone have any other ideas as to what to do?Screenshot (2).pngScreenshot (5).png

Yes, the preview of custom selected text is just a snippet that is cut off if it exceeds a certain length.

 

As for now, you cannot do anything to cure it.

Also, Make sure you have Windows 10 and Graphics Card driver updated to the latest version. Let us know how it goes.

Spot on, thank you. I tried the shortcut and did not fix the problem, so I when to the Roamin file and deleted my Illustrator & Photoshop Settings. I did lose all my settings, but it's worth the hassle of having to customize my settings again.

 

What it looks like after the reset:
