Details

Keyboard shortcuts in menus should be left-aligned and in their own column, like they are in native Windows apps. They are currently right-aligned, and part of the shortcut for one menu item can be directly below the name of another menu item. This bug makes the View menu in navigator ugly, and makes the View menu in mail hard to read. We should allow menu items that are page titles to extend over both columns. Page titles appear in the Go, Bookmarks, and Window menus. When long page titles are present, the keyboard-shortcuts column should be pushed to the right as far as possible without causing the menu to expand. (I've always wondered by IE hides the keyboard shortcuts for adding and organizing favorites. Now I know.)
