SQL Monitor menu bar on smaller screens

Viewing SQL Monitor maximised on a normal wide monitor, the black menu bar at the top contains 'Documentation', 'Learn' and 'Get in touch' options in between 'Log out' and 'What's new'
on a smaller screen, those menu options disappear
and in fact by sizing the window down even further, without getting a scroll bar, I can lose even more
but I can't find any way of accessing those options on the smaller screens - something I learned whilst remotely talking to a colleague, me telling him to click the documentation link at the top of his screen, and him asking what I was talking about! In his case his monitor was a wide screen one, only in portrait orientation.
Is there a way to access these without manually stretching the window size beyond the monitor size, or adjusting the zoom in the browser?

Hi @kevriley,
The team have said this is currently the expected behavior (those items disappearing) though it may not be the best behavior and I've raised SRP-13211 for the team to consult with the designers on how this may be able to be handled in a better way.
Kind regards,
Alex

I see this happening too and the only way I can see to access the links is to zoom out (e.g. Ctrl+scroll down or minus key).
Here's before:
And here's after at 50% zoom:
I'm not sure what the appropriate behavior here should be - the menu on the left needs to be available as that is necessary whereas the other information that disappears is potentially helpful but can be found from outside of the product (links below) - I'll check with the team to see if it was intended or otherwise and come back to you.
