Why cannot I resize the Tiles area of the start menu when the Task Bar is anywhere but at the bottom (Left, Right, Top)

I have been using the Taskbar on the LEFT. Even before it came to windows, I used a freeware taskbar written by some dev - if I am not mistaken in Windows 3
This is because it is always easier to move the mouse Left-Right than Up-Down without lifting your hand off the mouse to reset the position, especially now in these times of hires monitors.
The taskbar is by default at the bottom in Win 10. Why? Who knows. I moved it to the left.  I found that when the taskbar is at the bottom, I could pop out the startmenu and RESIZE the TILES area. 
But in any other position, Left, Top or Right you cannot resize the tile area of the taskbar. You first have to set it to the bottom, resize and then reset it left and if this is the wrong size for you you have to go thru all this over and over.
Since resizing is allowed for the taskbar it should not be restricted to only the bottom setting users.

I can confirm your finding. It's clearly wrong to have such an
inconsistency. Have you reported it using the reporting facility?
