Hi Darryl!
We've addressed those issues in our recent Beta Builds, and we anticipate that it will function smoothly in the next stable version (expected in the upcoming week).
Let us know if you can still spot this issue after upgrading it.
Thanks.

Thank you for your response, Hannah
When I left-click I get shrunken tray window shown in my initial post. When I right-click the Dropbox app icon I get the taskbar options instead, as if the icon itself isn't registering the click. Shift-left clicking the icon is the only way I can pull up the Dropbox menu.
My system > display scale has been set to 125% for years, I tried resetting it to 100% but the problem persists.

Hey TBat, sorry to jump in here, but can you clarify your computer's exact OS version?
Have you updated it recently or did you install any 3rd party apps perhaps?

Walter Windows 10.0.15063 (Version 1703). I'm using this version because later Windows Updates have interfered with apps I need for work.
I haven't installed any 3rd party apps recently. For years I've had a few apps that modify the screen layout (Fences, 7 Taskbar Tweaker, TaskbarX) but none of them have ever has this effect, and to my knowledge they haven't been updated recently either.

Sorry for the delay here, TBat!
Would you mind disabling these third party apps, one by one, to see if that helps at all?
Since these are apps that affect the layout/organization of normal Windows functions, they could be contributing to the issue.

I am having this same problem using Windows 11 on a Dell XPS 2022 model desktop. Is there a solution yet?
