Description controloao 2022-08-25 04:24:29 UTC

Excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. If the menu is long (for example in LibreOffice), not all menu items are displayed the first time. When you first hover with the mouse, some menu items that do not fit on the screen (in height) are not displayed at all, and ONLY after the SECOND mouse hover, an additional arrow appears, with which you can scroll through the menu.
2.  Shortcuts are not displayed in the menu items (in GTK apps)?

P.S. A great option that allows us to save precious screen space on your laptop. IMHO, the ideal option for me would be to hide / show ALL top toolbars, including the horizontal (classic) menu, using the Alt key. And that it be implemented globally in all applications.

Menu items disappear ONLY if the menu is long and does not fit on the screen. After you move the mouse to another menu item and immediately return, the missing menu item appears.
