File Explorer truncated menu across builds

Split from this thread.

Same problem with 27723.1000. File explorer 3 dots menu opens upward regardless of the position of the window.

It truncates the menu when the window is close to the top of the screen.

Note that the View and the Filter menus open correctly downward, it is only the 3 dots menu that opens in the wrong direction. 😂😂😂

Looks like they are propagating bugs from one build to the other instead of propagating fixes. 😝🤬🤷‍♂️

    I cannot make or have this go up in Win11 GA. Screen res is 1920 X 1200, scale 100%. Hitting the FE ellipsis, I tried 150, still went down. Tried full screen, went down.

    I will try it in 27818, again, soon.

    And I do accept & respect that it, still, goes up, in some cases but not in my case.

    Cheers,

    MS rolled out yet another fix on Build 26120.3576. But not yet on any other affected Builds.

    This now works correctly on Dev/Beta Build 26120.3576. 👍

    We'll see how long before it makes it to all the other affected Builds. 😎

    Yes, while getting various updates, at one point switching to 100% did allow the menu to go downwards. With my surface 5 windows 11 setup, 150 is the recommended scale and works best so I didn't want to change to 100. I finally figured out how to do the feature removal that did the trick for my setup.

    Oh, I recall you once saying it behaved properly if and only if at 100%. I see you are using 150%, hence... I'll mention this next time I see something or someone saying this is, still, amiss. Thanks, for reminding. I forget about it due to taking 100% for granted. Plus, it's sometime said it happens if & when FE is full screen but really a moot point.

    Drew,

    The fix they rolled out on Beta and Dev also works with Canary if it is enabled. 😎👍

    But they did not propagate the same fix on GA yet, so they still have work to do to roll it out to all 24H2 builds. 🤞🤷‍♂️
