Outlook Reminder window has become much smaller

My Outlook's reminder winow has suddenly become much smaller

So instead of being able to see a list of reminders that have not yet been dismissed all that can be seen is one reminder at a time.

I have to manually scroll to view each reminder.

I can find no way to get the window to revert to its normal size.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

I have tried running "outlook.exe /cleanreminders" but this does not work

I am running Windows 11 64bit and Outlook 2021 Version 2406 Build 16.0.17726.20078

I have tried to upload two images but the upload fails each time

Thanks

    Though the issue of things not fitting to a ridiculous degree has allegedly been addressed, Microsoft has taken the resizability for the Reminders window away from us. Please fix it by returning it!

    To everyone who misses the resizeability, we may be able to get more traction if everyone upvotes one of the posts for this issue in the Feedback Portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/5bdbe8e8-d376-ef11-a4e7-6045bdb238dc

    Using Microsoft® Outlook® 2016 MSO (Version 2411 Build 16.0.18227.20082) 32-bit and still having this issue. In fact it's even worse now because the ."restart Outlook fix" only last a day or 2 now.

    I never use the Location field, so that's not the root cause of the issue. Looked up the release notes for "Version 2408 (Build 17928.20114)"

    and "We fixed an issue that caused the buttons on the Reminders dialog to be truncated with some fonts."

    I will change fonts to fix this issue, but could not find which fonts create this issue?

    Anyone know??

    I think most of the font related issues are fixed. Are you using a secondary monitor? That is the only issue that I have heard about but have not been able to get a repro for. A workaround would be to kill the process in Task Manager if a restart does not help.

    No 2nd monitor and upgraded to version 2412, but no help. Restarting Outlook fixes issue, but only for a short time. Maybe time to try the old "cntl-alt-gates" a few times too - lol.
