Dropbox App scaling issues with 150 DPI screen settings

Dear community,
Unfortunately I ran into a problem when trying to continue to use Dropbox with a standardized screen settings of 150dpi on a Windows 10 computer.
When clicking on the taskbar symbol the app is opening much higher than the taskbar so that all controls on the top of the app are hidden and not usable.

Is there a possibility to reposition the window to bring it closer to the task bar or even to rescale it to allow me to continue working with Dropbox?

Looking forward to new ideas to fix the issue.

Cheers

      Hello @Walter,

      Thanks for the fast reply. You were absolutely right with your suggestion. Everything seems to be "fixed" with this workaround.

      Nevertheless, it would be much appreciated, to have an automatic adjustment to avoid complex user interaction.

       

      I'll keep an eye on it, but don't expect any further issues.
