Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Thunderbird menu structure is too long, so it get's overlayed by indicator applications in the global menu bar. Last menu items can only be reached by using the arrow keys.
Probably this will be also a problem for other applications.

My proposal: Last menu items which can't be displayed should be available in a drop down menu item ">>" or something like this.
