I'm still a little split over my change here. On the plus side : o the new position is more commonly used in most apps (open office is the only one offhand that uses the old LyX way) o the Quit item is now more visually distinct o the File menu is a more reasonable size in general On the cons side : o it's harder to acquire a submenued target > So at least arguments on why the old way was better is required. Hopefully ones that extend beyond "the old way was used by all the users". Whilst this is true, it would only make real sense to keep with a worse menu layout if we expect the total number of current users to forever exceed the total number of new users plus the total number of users who switch. Sometimes you just have to make a choice like that (of course, people are still accommodated by classic.ui, and I expect it to quickly become an FAQ on release ;) regards john
