Bug 454028 suggested improving/fixing cascading menus which originally (Windows 95) had option to cascade all entries to more columns, so are fastest list-based menu. Being forced to scroll in only one column can occasionally be so slow I give up. Here's an example of a superior cascading menu KDE already has (Dolphin. Kicker isn't superior and Kickoff is a degeneration of Kicker, forcing scrolling even in the cases of some lists that would entirely fit on the screen in one column.)
![]() Here you can almost see how it worked in Windows 95 (the second-level menu ran over into a second column, though covered-up by 'accessories' column.) ![]() The above two might disappear later, but I can re-upload or you can search. I don't know or care about new fad scrolling-only menus, but if you prefer superior original cascading menus, please ask for this improvement/fix. I can get better start menus in Windows 3 & 95/98 (9n, in fact use both Windows 3 & 95 types in 9n) than KDE, and that's sad, because now some youth idolize 1990s like I then idolized 1960s, but no modern GUI even has complete superior 1990s-style menus. Here you can see Windows 3 program groups. ![]() Apparently Windows 3 inspired CDE which inspired KDE, but KDE doesn't have program groups (might've in B1) which was the most productive menu format for me. I know KDE's latest menu type is similar in showing many programs not just as one-dimensional lists. but a two-dimensional layout, but is an entire new screen rather than program group windows, so I don't like that new menu either.
