Quick Options Bar changes in ArchiCAD22

I just installed AC22. I was able to import my Work Environment, and everything seems to be pretty much as expected, except the Quick Options Bar. This now how a large scroll bar to the right of the buttons, which I find completely useless since I pan and scroll with my mouse. Because of this, the buttons are small and harder to access. I tried searching the Work Environment settings, and the help articles and did not find any reference to this. Has anybody figured out how to remove this, and get back to the full width dedicated to the buttons?

Can you show an image of what you mean by large?
It should be about the same size as the other buttons.
This image is from 21.

I don't believe you can customise this toolbar.

From the Window menu, use Hide Scroll Bar.

No Scroll Bar option in the Window menu... sorry.
Attached is a screen shot showing my giant scroll bar. And my Windows menu, while I'm at it.
Thanks!

Hmm... I guess my first attachment got lost. Scroll bar image here.
Thanks!

An imported Work Envirnment from an older AC versions won’t include newer menu items by default. you can manually add menu items from the Work Environment Settings. Or turn on the standard WE Profile only for the Command Layout Scheme section of the WE, without affecting your other WE schemes.
When upgrading to newer AC versions, it’s wise to use the standard WE settings and then migrate and upgrade your previous WE settings to make sure you don’t miss newer features.
