Effect menu is too big in Audacity 2.1.0

If you go to the menu bar and click on one item (lets say Transport), a new column with settings gets displayed. All of them are fine, but the "Effect" menu, that is too big and you can't go to Analyze or Help of you hover the mouse over the Effect item/tab. Here's a picture to illustrate it:

It should not cover the original Effect tab, so you can keep hovering the mouse and see the other tabs.

Thanks for all the reports.;) But this one is a long-standing issue and is as far as I know a bug in wxWidgets for Windows.

If you've opened the Effect Menu, you can use RIGHT arrow on your keyboard to open the Analyze Menu or RIGHT twice to open the Help Menu.
