I use the new 'Kmenu' not the traditional one.

I set up my desktop with the 'panel' at the top of the screen. I placed the icons with most important on the right. Farthest right is the 'Kmenu' icon.
When I click on the 'Kmenu'icon, a drop-down window with room for 6 items appears. "Favorites", being one choice, contains 10 items at present, so I have to continually scroll to get to an Item I want to open that is not among the six that are showing.

Is there a way to increase the length, top to bottom, of the drop-down window containing menu items to the bottom of the screen before having to use a scroll feature. Even better would be to have the window containing the choices intuitive, in that perhaps in configuration you include up to a maximum of the screen height in either inches or centimeters, so that the box only holds the number of items you have in it until it fills the drop-down window from screen top to screen bottom before requiring scrolling to view the entire list.

This may be an item for the wish-list, however, if it currently exists, it would be great to have the feature. Thanks!

Kickoff (the new Kmenu) can be resized by dragging the resize handle in the bottom-left corner.
It does not support dynamic expansion based on size of contents.
