Even with user understanding, we might be deterring people from accessing the submenu for fear of choosing the default action by mistake. So, relsolving WF I guess :-( I guess we'll have to think of other ways for dealing with overly long menus. (In reply to Telesto from comment #3) > Nothing against Menu's.

It only "feels natural" if you're used to MS Office' ribbon. > So some would say focus the limited resources on Ribbon. Our bug reports are not the allocation of resources. Here, we say what can and should be done, not when or in what order. (We have an importance field for that, although that's not used.) > B) I spoke to soon.

Not a 100% succes either I remember that very well. It was a terrible idea and everyone I ever talked to about this was complaining about how the menus get jumbled... that would not be a direction I would take. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
