problem with standalone mac->windows

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Peter,

I haven't seen this before, because I don't use menus that are that  
long. If a menu is going to be long, either I make submenus or I make  
a dialog window with a list field or checkboxes and radio buttons  
instead of the menu.

I believe a menu should be scrollable in Windows, just like in Mac OS  
X. In fact, font menus in Windows indeed scroll if they are very  
long. So, if your menu doesn't scroll in Rev, it should be reported  
as a bug to the QCC.

Sorry, I don't have a solution to make the menu scroll. All I can  
think of is that you either create submenus or use a different  
interface to present the available options to the user.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
