My new column visibility menu is ready. Sorry but I rolled out my app
before getting back to you.
I've obtained the latest revision of Table.js (16445) and changed it.
I'm also introducing qx.ui.form.PopupButton. I sent this with a zip
attached but I don't think it reached the list.
Since I'm not using a Menu object, I don't have a way to support the
columnVisibilityMenuCreateStart and columnVisibilityMenuCreateEnd
events, because there is no Menu object to reference in the event. I
searched the framework source code and nothing was using them. I've
eliminated those events.
What is the next step? Should I check in these files? I haven't tried
to and don't know if I have access. My organization is using this
feature, but no one else has seen it yet.

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.
