• QAP menu from notification icon sometimes needlessly has scroll arrows

  I'm using QAP 11.5.71 with a 3-monitor setup (laptop => some direct, some thru a dock) with assorted rez. Occasionally after disconnecting the laptop from the monitors the QAP popup menu from the notification icon list will display with scroll arrows at the top and bottom even though there's plenty of room to show the whole menu on the screen without those. My "fix" is to switch from one icon size then back (e.g. 24=>16=>24); since this quits and restarts QAP, maybe quitting & restarting QAP is enough. Then QAP shows the full menu without scroll arrows at the top & bottom.
  
  Note that this is separate from the feature and # of icons in the "Manage icons window" (set to 15 in my case).
  
  Is there something I can  set so that QAP won't add those scroll arrows and will instead keep the menu at full size?

  This is probably because Windows does not update the tray menu (aka notification zone menu) size or display after screen changes.

  Unfortunately, this is not something under the control of QAP and seems to me like a Windows issue. QAP controls the content of the menu and the actions after an item of the menu is selected, but not its behavior (display, size, etc.).

  This was my guess. I think restarting QAP is the quickest solution, unless someone has a better idea.

  Quitting and restarting (without needing to change the icon size) "fixes" it directly.
  
  The problem is that it's happening *frequently*, e.g. every time the screens are put to sleep for a while**. So the QAP menus are fine, the screen(s) sleep/turned-off, wake up PC with mouse or keyboard, menu now (needlessly, plenty of space) has scroll arrows at top & bottom. Means I'll be doing a lot of needless quit & restart of QAP.
  
  ** it's possible that when additional screens are turned off, Windows reverts to the smaller laptop screen size, with the QAP menu still using that when the screens are woken back up. I'm using extended (HDMI-connected) screens in normal use, but Windows will revert to the laptop screen if that's all it has to work with. Even though it's physically smaller, the laptop screen is 2560x1600 compared to my QAP-using primary monitor (3440x1440 -- so technically shorter based on pixels) and additional monitor (4K = 3840x2160). All have plenty of space for the current QAP menu to display without needing to resort to scroll arrows.
  
  I'll try changing the icon size from 24 to 16 for now as a stopgap (since I might add more stuff later) to see how things behave.

  Good luck.
  
  Anyone else has an idea how to fix this?
