Description elharo 2007-10-01 12:11:24 UTC 
Some menu items have icons. Some don't. However the text of all menu items in
the same menu, both those with and without icons should be left-aligned with
respect to each other. This is not currently the case. Menu items without icons
are aligned to the left edge of the menu. They should be indented by the width
of an icon so they line up with those menu items that do have icons. 

See http://cafe.elharo.com/java/menu-icons-considered-ugly/ for an extended rant
on this subject and screenshots that demonstrate the problem in other applications.

Probably this is true across platforms, but I haven't verified that yet.

I believe this is just an Issue with the mac port...

Icons are not shown by default in Mac OS X. See issue 77595. So this issue is no longer relevant for Mac 
OS X.

Marking as invalid.

since DEV300m15 also the popup menus are native menu items, so I guess there
nothing more to do in that regard. Images may be visible again if the user so
chooses (see issue 90343), however these will be automatically aligned by
Cocoa's NSMenuItem class.

Oh, by the way have a look at Apple's human interface guidelines, on Mac menu
items with images should have the text not aligned to those without images.
