Why is Apply wrap so high up in the Composer Options menu?

This caused one of my users a problem today, as it pushed the Build Poll down off the visible options for them (and they didn’t realise that they had to scroll):

In that example from Meta, Build poll is still visible (it seems a bit device / browser specific), but it does raise why Apply wrap is so prominent in the dropdown.

I can’t see this being used by anyone except power users; it really belongs down the bottom, doesn’t it?

Of note, this used to be called the Composer ‘gear’ menu.

@renato Fair question, I’ve wondered the same. Would it be easy enough to move this down?

In general, maybe we should look at the order here. “insert math” also feels like something that could move down a bit.

Ideally, the order of the items in that menu should be admin-configurable, since different forums have different user and formatting needs. i think you can do something like this to remove the vertical scrolling friction and force the menu to fit all items:

.fk-d-menu[class*=toolbar-menu].fk-d-menu {
    max-height: fit-content;
}

result:

Nat has suggested a setting for that too

It could be a little more complicated because plugins/components can add buttons, and these are probably difficult to configure in a site setting, just like this is a problem in the sidebar.
