Menus not as long as could be. Had to scroll down.

Here we see there is much space left below the menu to have it be taller, 18636-4 Yes, not everybody owns such tall terminals, but I do.

Unfortunately this is a hard limit set by the browser. It cannot be overridden.

I can see 2 options:

  • Instead of showing the list in a popup, show it in a new tab (which avoids size limitations);
  • Inside the popup, break list into 2 or 3 columns before the scrollbar appears (although there is also a hard limit in the popup's width, there should be enough space left);

I'm not a fan of either, but they can be considered in a future design review. Also, some kind of filter could be added to reduce the size of the list (maybe a text input?).

As a palliative, I recommend disabling links you never use and/or dragging favorite links to the top of the list.

@jgpacker I see a third one at least in theory: create an accordion, sorting the items by nature. For instance the top nodes would be categories, labels like comparison tools, QA tools...
