Hi, there appears to be a bug in the post menu settings for what is visible by default and what is is hidden behind the elipses.

### By default:

This one is a little late… but the edit pencil is always shown on a user’s own posts even when included in `post menu hidden items`, as it’s considered too important to tuck away. However, if you remove it from the setting it will then show up outside of the … menu on all other user’s posts for those with the ability to edit them (admin, mods, and anyone in a group in the `edit all post groups` admin setting).

Bookmark is another reactive one that will show up outside of the … menu if you have a bookmark set for that post (and be hidden usually).
