Request for compact view in dropdown menus

Windows version has menus that still expand as if I'm using a touch display, despite my font size being small and "compact" density. It would be nice to have the dropdown menu follow these rules and not extend outside the window.

Workflow is faster if I can see most, if not all, options for Item Type at once and select immediately without having to scroll when comparing options or looking for the most accurate.

  • Still hoping this UI quirk can be improved. Hopefully it is not much work on the backend?
  • Looking at forum history, have confirmed you think this is a bug which should have been fixed at least two years ago. Please fix! Thanks.
  • What are your exact display settings (general Windows settings)?
  • I've also noticed that. In fact, I reported it in May 2023 for the beta version 7.
    For me, it's particularly uncomfortable when the “fields” and “collections” lists are displayed. It would be great if those drop-down menus could be made a little more compact. Thanks!
