Please scroll and see 3 screen shots
Screenshot: portrate_27inchMon shows the problem, notice the top right hand corner does not show the top right component selector. It’s not possible to see the right hand combo drop down window because this screen control is OFF SCREEN. It’s not possible to adjust or drag this screen control into view on a windows 10 computer. Using the mouse has no ability to do this; the mouse curser does not change to indicate that the window can be adjusted.
Now scroll down and take a look at the second screen shot of what I see on a landscape monitor...

Screenshot: landscape_27inchMon shows both top right and top left combo drop down windows. This is not possible to see on smaller monitors. Scroll down and see the third screen shot that shows the laptop monitor screen, its luck that I have a 27 inch monitor in landscape; the program would not be usable otherwise.

The following screen shot from the laptop also shows that the right hand combo drop down window is off screen and not accessible.

This problem did not initially manifest itself; it was not until I added another library where the file name path was long that the problem occurred. I noticed the screen repaint itself after I selected the OK button on the main menu - Preferences - Search paths screen.
