Default Issue with different monitor sizes using a macbook

Hi,

I did post that already in the General Discussion, did'nt get any answers from other macbook users so I repost it here again:

In my studio I'am using an external 30'' monitor attached on my macbook (with the macbook closed).
When I'am on the road I'am using the laptopscreen. The last ~15 rightmost toolbar icons (at top of the main window and at top of the MIDI editor) are out of sight (and reach) than. Is there a way to display all the toolbar icons also on the (sometimes) smaller screen or is this a known issue?



thanks!

you know the 3 dots at top left of every window?
alt-click the third one, should be a + symbol while holding alt

ok I see now
Not sure if that can be fixed without making the toolbar height bigger to show two rows

Can the toolbar height be changed?
There seems to be enough space for two rows of toolbars..

Worth a bug report?

to me it looks like the main toolbar/ruler area is extended, but the actual toolbar dock above the ruler is not.

To answer my own question for the records (although it seems that I'am the only one having this problem):

What I did wrong was to place the toolbar 'At top of main window'
Instead one have to put it 'In toolbar docker' and than drag the toolbar docker on top of the main window.
