Even when I scrunch my Excel screen up tiny like yours the full menus
appear. Of course Excel is taking up only a tiny part of my screen at that
point so there is plenty of room to extend down or up.
If you're using Vista that might be a different too. I'm on XP. When you
click the arrow does the menu extend or does it scroll? If it's the latter
it looks more like Windows Scroll Menu feature than the old Excel adaptive
menus.
