Serial Monitor Options Button is missing

Hi,
I am trying out Visual Micro with my VS2013 Ultimate and Duemilanove. It appears everything is working with my installation, except the Serial Monitor Options button is missing from the Serial Monitor window. I can compile, upload, and debug a sketch. I can see the expressions window and the trace messages, but I cannot find the Options button, so I have no way of changing settings like message windows, etc. The area next to the text input box in the Serial Monitor simply does not show any buttons. I am running this on Windows 8.1 and I have VS2013 Update 2.
Thanks for any help others can provide.
Cheers,
-peter

I think I root-caused my issue. I am using a Surface Pro 2, which defaults the desktop scaling to 150%. When I reduce the desktop scaling the buttons begin to appear. This workaround is sufficient for me, but perhaps this can be better addressed Visual Micro directly?
Thanks,
-peter

Thanks that's useful. I was about to ask for an image so I could see the difference.

We will do some testing
