Comment(by wenzeslaus):
''This is not going to be fixed soon, especially if it affects only some
systems and some languages, so for now I just recap solutions.''
== Possible solutions ==
=== Fix the system library ===
* fix the system GUI library
* we can say that the system library handles long menus in the wrong way
(hides items withou notifying a user)
* hidden items itself are in fact not problem of GRASS but of the system
GUI library (maybe it is a problem of wxPython/wxWidgets but probably not)
=== Single window GUI ===
* redesign the wxGUI to big single window which can have a long menu
* this would solve it, but we still want to have current multi window
GUI and for this the problem would be still present
=== Bigger Layer Manager window ===
* make Layer Manager window bigger
* no point in this, width is needed for menubar (and toolbars) but
usually not for the content itself
=== Abbreviations ===
* use abbreviations in the menu (in English? in translations?
optionally?)
=== Shorter menu ===
* create a shorter menu (but what shall be omitted?)
* create a shorter menu using toolboxes for yourself
* possible now, see
[http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/wxGUI.toolboxes.html user manual
page]
* only workaround, each affected user must do it
