Truncated 'Dock & Menu Bar', Pane

The ‘Dock & Menu Bar’ pane is truncated on two Mac desktops, and one laptop. All three computers are running 12.1.

Changing screen resolution, does nothing.

Then, you can tab your way down to those two entries. Hit the space bar to toggle the checkbox on and off.

Looks like you managed to corrupt your system preferences cache or plist file. Any optimizers from Macpaw or Zeobit or anything that does system level cache cleaning could create the problem. Advanced Mac Cleaner, Mackeeper, and similar programs in that regard behave like viruses and can corrupt the system. Have a specialist look at your machine for those software and remove them while in safe mode.
