this is in the milestone 11 build menu pull-downs can get overly wide when faced with an extremely long URL. TO RECREATE: Bookmark http://www.ntk.net/~danny/mozbug.html which has an extremely long title. worse, sub-menus can write to and over the right hand side of the screen, making it impossible to descend down the sub-menu tree. It's not very likely that a menu-bar would have a long entry - it could be truncated during the construction of the menu, for example. Butmany users will find sub-menus butting against the right hand side (even with short menu entries) if they have folders within folders in their bookmarks file. TO RECREATE: Create folders, and sub-folders in bookmarks until the sub-menu reaches the far right of the screen. SOLUTIONS: Menu entries should be truncated with a "..." the sub-menu widget should spring out to the left when it detects it cannot fit within the remaining space on the left (this appears to be Windows' default behaviour. WindowMaker widgets on Linux will scroll the entire menu-tree to the right, which is pleasant in floating menus, but probably not desirable on menu bar sub-menus)

Summary: menu bars don't wrap overly long entries; sub-menus don't notice when they hit the edge of the screen → menus should truncate long entries.
