How do I turn off the arrows that appeared on the menus?

Those arrows.  I want all items to appear at once without me having to scroll.

I don't believe you can.  The arrows appear at the top and bottom of the menu when there are more items than will fit on the screen, so that you can get to any of the entries.

What you want would require Xfce to expand the menu to an additional column when that occurred, and I don't think it can do that.  (I'd be happy to be wrong, but I haven't found a setting that controls that.

It would be a nice cosmetic enhancement for a future release.

It was a bug and should be fixed in many distros.

My screen is not merely 505 pixels high

Thank you much. I updated libxfcegui4-4 from 4.6.2-1 (Debian Testing aotw) to 4.6.3-1 (unstable aotw) and the arrows are gone.
