And we can't use mouse scroll up/down. I think it's possible by editing the template, just look the original 4.3 template and revert the changes that affects this menu.

I think these are the templates:

design/admin2/templates/children_detailed.tpl

design/admin2/templates/children.tpl

Yes, the "autocomplete" functionality for selecting classes would be really handy.

Chris, why don't you suggest it as an enhancement in issues.ez.no...

We got a lot for free using the YUI libraries, but yes, the create-menu has it's limitations on large menus. I was hoping to see improvements appearing at YUI. In the mean time, here's a couple of workarounds that might not be perfect, but still worth trying:

Vertical scrollbar + keyboard select: http://ciitronian.com/blog/programming/yui-button-mimicking-native-select-dropdown-avoid-width-problem/

BTW: What do you consider being a "normal" (not being admin) size for this menu?

Good idea, I'll go suggest that as an enhancement. Ideally it would be a user preference to choose one or the other, because I DO like it for the regular users if they have a limited number of classes available to them.

I don't have a good handle on how many classes a "normal" user would have; I've mainly just been developing and haven't had a chance to check out the user experience. I know I see around 200, though, and that's certainly too many for this style.
