Post subject:  Multiple monitors and vertical taskbar - peculiar behaviour

I have three monitors and the way I like to work is with an auto-hide vertical taskbar on the middle monitor (i.e the start button is top left of my middle monitor (I usually open the menu with the keyboard rather than with the mouse).

If I set up Classic Shell 4.2.5 like this in Windows 10 with a classic style start menu then (unless I make the taskbar appear first with the mouse in which case this doesn't happen), the windows key will make a truncated menu appear to the left of the taskbar (i.e. on the right of the left hand monitor) showing only the top three lines of my menu (so the menu is largely unusable with the mouse).

Clicking the start button works as it should i.e. the full menu drops down over the taskbar to the left of my middle monitor.

Can this be fixed please? This didn't happen in Windows 7.

Furthmore if I set the Windows taskbar option "Show taskbar on all displays" whether or not the Classic Shell option "Open Windows Start menu on monitor with the mouse" is checked, I get peculiar behaviour depending on which monitor my mouse is on. Sometimes it opens the taskbar on the same monitor as my mouse and sometimes not and sometimes it is truncated.

How many taskbars do you have?
Can you show a screenshot of the truncated menu?
