Thanks overdub: I have it set at the highest resolution. 1600X900. It won't accept anything any higher. My main monitor (With the track view) is at 1920X1080.

this is a windows issue - the quick and dirty fix is to open your display properties and align the smaller monitor to the bottom of the larger one...

This doesn't work, at least not for me. I have my smaller monitor aligned perfectly with the bottom of the larger one in the option you're talking about (it snaps into place) but this does not make the bottom menu arrow appear. I've also tried raising it and lowering it and it makes absolutely no difference. As far as I know, that alignment option only affects the way the mouse travels from one screen to the other, i.e. if they're perfectly aligned then the mouse with enter one screen at the same relative position as it leaves the other, and also the position at which an object appears on one screen relative to the other if they're stretched across both. 
 
I think what's happening here is that the menu widget is going by the main screen resolution to draw itself, regardless of whether it's on the main screen or the secondary screen, when it should in fact recognize the resolution of whatever screen it appears on. I wouldn't be surprised if, like the lack of scroll wheel support, the reason is that it's an old widget coded back in the days before dual monitors were commonplace. 

That's weird... I'll have to double check but I remember this working for me.  Might have been another menu issue.

My plugins don't float, and obviously don't know what you all are discussing.  Sorry.

As mentioned above, we're talking about the floating plugin menus which appear when inserting a plugin (i.e. not dragging it from the browser). Here's an example taken from my second monitor - as you can see, the bottom of the menu is cut off and consequently the scroll down arrow is missing:
 

 
 

sharke: Yes, that's exactly what I see here, too.

OK, I see.  I don't have that issue because I created Groups of Plugins based on what they do (i.e., reverb, echo, chorus, vocal, bass, etc.).  Plugins that I have deemed less useful are not included in my Groups, so the maximum number of VSTs in any one Group is maybe 10 ... so no scrolling to do.  Certainly speeds up work flow.
 
 

I've got the same situation in the TV but fortunately, my drop down continues on my monitor just below my big monitor.  It doesn't line up since the two monitors are at different resolutions but it's workable.
