Description aparan 2004-03-12 08:27:31 UTC 
The width of the menus of various Menu bar items are not uniform.  Should be 
formalised.
Comment 1 stefan.baltzer 2004-03-12 11:46:44 UTC 
SBA: Poor description.
Comment 2 aparan 2004-03-12 12:35:59 UTC 
Sorry for the poor description I gave earlier. I meant that the width of the 
Drop Down Menu List of the Menu Items are not even.  Especially the File Menu 
is extra wide.  Also, they look a bit crude.  

Please see.
Comment 3 stefan.baltzer 2004-03-22 17:51:18 UTC 
SBA: The file menu streches and shrinks depending on the path lenghth in the
pick list. If you have 4 entries like "C:\temp\file_XX.sxw" it will be shrinked
whereas an entry like "C:\Documents and Settings\User_XYZ\My
Documents\The_longest_filename_in_my_history_as_a_PC_user.sxw, it will enlarge
to show "more".
Component changed to framework and reassigned to Thorsten.

Suggestions for improvement: 

If it is possible to reclaim the space to the left and right of the "recent
files" names, that would be a good idea, since this section of the menu does not
display icons or shortcuts anyway. 

It might also be a good idea to just show the file names, not including the
directory paths. They tend to clutter rather than provide useful information.
And they are shown anyway as a help tip when the mouse pointer is placed over 
them.

See also the screenshot in issue 28429.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

Width depends on content.
