Well that won't work, because you now have to scroll to see the other
options.

But anyway if it is a specially designed feature, i guess i just dislike
it because a large empty "menu" on the screen just looks weird. A better
way would probably be having an extra entry always at the top (or bottom
when the menu goes up, that holds the current selection, a bit like the
font selection in OOo.org. That way you can click twice to "check" and
you don#t have that strange empty menu.
