Drop down when multiple drawings are open

Has anyone run into this problem when multiple drawings are open.  On the right when there are multiple drawing open there are those two arrows that you can click on do show all the drawings that are open.  When I have AutoCAD maximized those arrows disappear.  When my CAD isn't maximized the arrow are there and i can switch easier between drawings.  Sometimes I have many drawings open and all the tabs don't fit across the top so having the drop down at the end is extremely helpful but it disappears on my when I have my AutoCAD window maximized.  I have multiple monitors as well so I don't know if that might have something to do with it.  I attached two screenshots.  The one where the arrows appear the cad window is resized so you can see the desktop wallpaper in the background.  The one where it doesn't show the background that you see is from the second monitor.  Sometimes the tab on the right gets cut off in the middle and the "x" to close that drawing is cut off as well.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

which version of AutoCAD are you using (command _ABOUT tells you the exact release information).

Tried that now with 2020.1 ... works well.

You can also go to the view tab in the ribbon and find the switch windows button.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

I decided to add a panel at the end of the Home tab with the Switch Windows button.
