I'm using Aero if that makes a difference

Comment 6

Also a Windows DPI of 120

Comment 7

[Gary [:streetwolf52]]

OK... it appears using 120 DPI is causing my problem.  I use 120 because I have a 24" widescreen LCD.  Using 96dpi is not an option for me.

Comment 8

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

Yes, that seems to be it. With 125dpi I see the location bar increase.

Comment 9

[Gary [:streetwolf52]]

It's not just the DPI that does it.  I went down to 96dpi and then changes the font sizes in Windows 7 from the default of 9 to 11.  This also causes the location bar to change height.
