ssms right click menu problem

When I have a small resolution example RDP into a server I have noticed that in SSMS when I right click on a table for the menu for objects has a problem.
Not sure if it a Red-gate problem or a SSMS problem. I'm using SSMS 2014 with the latest red-gate tools.
The menus have the arrows that are added when the resolution is small to scroll the menu list but the arrows are designed incorrectly. In the screen shot ( Screenshot2) the red circled arrow is grayed out when it shouldn't be. The Blue circled arrow moved the list down. So I start to see blank spaces above the menu item "New Table..." so it feeling like I'm scrolling up. I want the list to scroll down so I can see the other menu items.
Any thoughts would be helpful.

This looks like it is an issue with SSMS (we do not create/control movement within SSMS menus)- however I have found a workaround- if you mouse over an item in the menu, then use the arrow keys on your keyboard, you can scroll down without issue.
Let me know if you have any issues!
