When there is enough room to expand, why do the context menus still show collapsed? All these additional clicks are for the birds. Any suggestions?

BTW Firefox ESR 78 does not do this.

This problem seems to occur when users have two displays of different resolutions. The menus show normally on one display and get shortened on the other. Is that your situation as well?

Although I've seen a few threads on this, I don't know whether there is a solution. Hopefully another support forum volunteer has a suggestion.

I have a docking station with an external monitor and the menus are shortened there too. I also have Thunderbird ESR 91.2.1 and I don't have the collapsed problem. with it. Maybe it has something to do with the Proton changes.

Can you reproduce this issue in a troubleshoot mode?

Troubleshoot boot does something to compact mode and breaks all my previous line spacing. The menus are fully expanded if compact mode is disabled, but compact mode should also work. No?

This is what I'm using for to fix Firefox's totally lame idea of increasing the space between lines

/* Tighter spacing between menu item lines */

menupopup menu, menupopup menuitem {margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: -1.8px !important} menupopup menu:first-child, menupopup menuitem:first-child {margin-top: 0px!important}

Edit: The code above caused the collapsing and I replaced it with menupopup menu, menupopup menuitem { margin-top: .2px !important }

The other code that I forgot to mention that I used to reduce line spacing was

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { padding-block: 0px !important; }
