ContextMenuStrip .Net framework 2.0

I'm having a problem with the ContextMenuStrip object when using it on a
NotifyIcon while the taskbar is at the top of the screen.

Problem:
The context menu will draw above the top of the screen. This makes it so you
cannot see/select any options except for maybe the last one.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start a new C# 2.0 Windows Application.
2) Place a ContextMenuStrip onto the form and add a few items to it.
3) Place a NotifyIcon on the form, set it's Icon property and set the
ContextMenu property to the ContextMenuStrip.

Before running, move your taskbar to the top of the screen.

When you run, right click on the icon in the systray and the context menu
should draw above the top of the screen.

Can anyone reproduce this and/or does anyone know how to fix this. Thank you
for your time.
