Due to the stupidity of Long (that's me), all comments on the Windows 7 Taskforce after March has been lost.
As a result of this unfortunate event, a transition to a new backend (the one powering heresanidea.net) is being considered.

This website is part of the community Taskforce initiative

"Some Start menu items can't be displayed" balloon is misaligned

Submitted by nyp on March 13, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug

Try this: Set the number of recent programs to display to a high number and then open the Start menu. The balloon is misaligned.
Also, the balloon seems a little too wide...

Align it properly.
Make a line break in the middle of the message.

This is how Vista did it:

Both are wrong anyway but at least Vista's balloon is more comfortable to read.

Agreed. Split that text onto multiple lines.

And Windows XP did it perfectly:

It seems this balloon is removed in build 7057, though I need more testing.
