I'm not familiar with any specific details of what is expected with that box checked, because I never use it. I make my own menus with either menu.lst (MBR installations), or custom.cfg (UEFI installations) via /etc/grub.d/06_custom (copied from 40_custom). The use case is a desire to suggest when possibly appropriate that a nominally enlightened or unenlightened multibooter switch his boot menu from multiscreen configuration to single, and be able to do it with openSUSE's flagship tool YaST2 instead of via the shell. Maybe it's a good idea to offer the option any time more than one or two other operating system(s) have been first installed, if not always? Personally I find all multipage Grub menu configurations obnoxious. They strongly remind me of Windows' little bitty windows with select lists that expose only two or three selections at a time on a screen that has ample space for many times that number in a window nominally taller. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
