9ecd1063070fShort description of error
Geometry Nodes "Vector Math" node Operation menu used to be two columns of items. Since #105386 it is always a single column, even when there is acres of space.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
@Harley /
Regression: Geometry Nodes: Multi column enum selector menu is flatto Regression: Nodes: Multi column enum selector menu is flatYes, this is by design.
At high zoom levels it was possible for a wide enum list to not fit within available space:
Now wide enum lists estimate their needed width and it approaches the limit of the window width will switch to a single column so that it remains usable.
I really not sure if such long list is good feature. Regular math node seems okay, without such regression.
Regular math node will do the same thing if you zoom in enough, make the scale larger, and/or make the window smaller.
Could you explain a bit better why this is bad and a regression? It currently just states that it "is flat" which doesn't describe a problem.
The base problem, and source of many bug reports, is described well here: #72093
So #105386 solves this by collapsing wide enum menus to a single column when there is a risk of lack of space. If the menu is too wide to fit the window the items outside of view are inaccessible, rendering the menu unusable. Although a long single-column menu is a pain, it does allow selection of all items when in a space constrained situation like this.
This is regression due to change in functionality (what I saw as a bug).
I am not one of the UI module why can't rise priority due to my opinions, so you could lower this (in case that is expected).
The following is my opinion: This is a very long list that makes no sense if the menu can always just be a multi-column. I literally felt pain because my muscle memory wasn't working and I had to go through a very long list.
Just change report to correct reproduce steps.
Regression: Nodes: Multi column enum selector menu is flatto Regression: Vector Math Node Operations Menu Always Single ColumnOkay, I see this is (probably) only the Vector Math node and have updated the title and the description.
With the old code this menu was not explicitly two columns, but was instead overflowing into a second column. It is without any "Categories" and is a single list of 27 items that overflows a hard-coded limit of 20 to make two columns.
This might need a bit of thought. The current code does not use any hard-coded vertical maximums so that very long and wide menus can use more vertical space if needed.
