Start menu is weird

[bronze swan]

Hey folks,

I’ve got a problem where the box on the start menu has gotten really small, as you can see in the picture. I’ve tried resetting all Cinnamon settings, set all themes back to default, and disabled/deleted all extra themes I downloaded, but it still hasn’t fixed the issue. I’ve also tried running updates.

Rebooting didn’t help either, so I have no idea what to do now.

Any tips on what I can try?

I found the solution, so you can ignore this! 😄

The solution was this:

Right-click the Menu button on the taskbar → select Configure → go to the Menu tab → click Restore the menu to its original size.

can also stretch it using drag from top-right corner

it's a symptom of screen-scaling changes or big resolution changes
