    Hello,

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find the info anywhere.

    Is there a limit on the number of items I can have in my top menu bar (where the drop downs are like "File, Edit, etc.")? I've noticed that if I start a new project with a good bit of plugins installed I lose some of their menu options.

    If there is a limit - what is it? Can I edit the number of items up there? Is this just a strange bug I'm experiencing?

    Thanks!

    Well, the menu bar width is fixed, so the OS is going to have problems if you ask for too many menu options. Since the menu bar grows due to scripts in the editor folder, you could always edit the scripts and put these additional menu items into a top-level "Extras" menu.

    Ah, somehow I didn't realize that the top menu bar was an OS limitation/handled by the OS at all. Thanks a lot for the info!

    Perhaps this should be part of the Asset Store guidelines?
