Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen
I have a similar issue, but it's with touch, not pen. I have a touch screen with no pen input capability, and I am unable to open the menu or do several other functions by touch. This is an 8" tablet, and I have to haul out a mouse when using Edge Canary right now, which kind of defeats the purpose of having the small tablet.

I agree...on a 10" tablet with touch in tablet mode I can not get to the "..." menu.
I can get to ">" more favorites and the smiley feedback button.
I have to use the virtual touchpad (not a physical mouse) to get it to work.

Thanks for the tip on the virtual touch-pad. I forgot about that, and it's sitting in the taskbar waiting on me to use it. Cumbersome though, but helps in a pinch.
I've not been using the favorites toolbar, because on an 8" screen I need all the real estate I can get. You might want to check my solution I posted above. Hope it helps. I set up a series of favorites to let me access what I need under that menu.
Will still need to use the virtual touchpad when I need to install an app, but those are, for the most part, already set up.

Interesting, which other functions don't work for you by using touch?

When typing in the address bar, I am unable to tap a suggested completion. Instead of selecting that completion, it will just go to what I have typed so far, which is still incomplete.
I can't remember what else at the moment. I was late getting somewhere and didn't have time to write it down. As I rediscover, if I rediscover before fixed, I'll put the bug report in through the app's feedback as I did the other.
