Look at this screenshot, and you'll see that the "Most Frequently Used" section has been expanded... but the additional 4 apps are off the right side of the screen...

Expanding the Scopes and Lenses "Filter" section of the Dash also shows evidence of screen runoff: Only half of that section is on the screen...
