171722 - tweaking of the View menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Pierre Chanial]

I think logical order (top to bottom) imply having the following order in the
view menu:
Toolbars
Sidebar
Status Bar

Also, there are access key conflicts: Sidebar, Status bar and Stop

I don't want to change the ordering, but I did just fix the accesskey conflict.
Good catch.

I agree on the View menu ordering.  That is the same order that it appears as in
Internet Explorer.  Since the Mozilla Foundation will now be targeting end
users, this is a very important feature to keep, at least as the default.  I see
no reason why file menus couldn't be modified to be whatever order you wanted. 
However, that is an entirely different bug.  The approach though is that the
core and the extensions have a series of functions.  There would then be the
ability to customize menus, access keys, and right-click menus separately.  I
find this feature very useful in jEdit from www.jedit.org.
