[gui] need to limit the number of instances listed
Describe the bug
The indicator lists all the VMs I have used. I want to shell into one. I find it in the list and hit the triangle. It opens up a small section which I need to scroll to find the "Shell" option.
To Reproduce
- Have 27 VMs created with multipass
- Set screen to 1080p on GNOME Shell
- Try to get to the shell option for the bottom VM
You get a tiny tiny scroll bar and it's very hard to use.
Expected behavior A menu to appear, from which I could choose "Shell"

Additional context
(maybe some of these old VMs that I'm using with snapcraft over the last few weeks should be cleaned up if not used)
Hi @popey, the fact that it's difficult to navigate is actually a ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator issue.
That said, we should probably do something better with such extreme lists of instances. I'll make this into enhancement instead.

I don't think auto-cleaning is something that we can ever do automatically. But we could only list the 10 most recently used ones in the list.
