Long Menu Items

One of the things I hate most is when I encounter a long
menu item which widens
a specific menu and I have to access a submenu in from that
menu.

PROBLEM
when trying to access the submenu, I have to move the mouse
to the right border
of that particular menu, wait for the submenu to open and
then move the mouse
inside that submenu.

However, if the menu is very wide (due to some unfortunate
menu text), it can
easily happen, that when I move the mouse towards the right
menu border,  the
mouse cursor will slip into the wrong submenu. This is very
annoying, especially
when trying to make something fast.

SOLUTION
* make menu items as brief as possible (this is especially
important for
lacalised versions of OOo; indeed some vrsons have such big/
wide entries, that
virtually every menu is a nightmare)
* implement a different mechanism for submenus:
 -- when clicking on a menu item that points to a submenu,
open the submenu and
position the mouse inside that submenu; this would be indeed
a very useful feature;
