I think it would be complex to make a scrolling Menu widget. My thought
now is to develop a Popup dialog to replace the Menu, as Sebastian
suggested. I will have to change the Table to interact with the new
Popup dialog instead of the Menu.

What it should, and what it do not have until someone implement
it are some what different things. I would really prefer a dialog
instead of the menu. It is scalable to whatever scenario one could
imagine and do keep the menu stuff a lot easier. Scrolling in menus may
be quite complex.

Bill,
I do not like such long scrolling menus. One
thing I have seen in some applications is that they show a window
instead with two lists. One for the shown items, one for the available
items and some buttons between the lists to move items around. Maybe
this would be an option.
Actually this isn't necessarily an issue of very long
menus. If you have a "short, wide" table which displays only 3 lines at
a time (by design) but has 6 columns, pulling down the visibility menu
would incur this same problem. A 6-item menu is not too large, but it
doesn't fit in this scenario. There's no particular reason why the menu
shouldn't be allowed to scroll. Having an alternate appearance
capability for the menu would be a nice addition, but for now, the
visibility menu should provide scrolling capability.
