The date dropdown is too narrow

I don't remember when it happened that the date dropdown because too narrow - see screenshot

The dropdown list is too narrow to see the text, and it is like half the width of the dropdown button

Is there any fix for this

I can definitely help you fix that, David_D.

 

You can drag the bottom-right corner of the Dates drop-down menu to expand its size according to your own preferences. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Open the appropriate report.
  3. Click the Dates drop-down menu.
  4. Drag the bottom-right corner of the Dates drop-down menu to adjust its size.

Take a look at my screenshot below:

Why would this need a fix?  I've had the same issue, but it's absurd the user needs to "fix" a programming error.

I have this same problem, but the proposed solution only works for a short time.  The next time I open the report,  I have to resize the drop down menu again.  Is there a permanent solution?

I can imagine how inconvenient it must be to resize the drop-down each time you open the report, jbenelliott. At this time, the only way to adjust the drop-down width is to resize it each time you access the report, as there is no permanent setting to save these adjustments.

@Maybelle_S  ...You do realize that the dropdown menu is not *normally* that small, right?

 

This isn't a matter of being able to save the adjustments you make to the size of various windows, you goofball.
