And these menus are the most annoying things ever to use. Since it makes using them really slow, because every time when the menu is "adjusted" and new things get hidden or shown, the positions of the menu items change, and thus "Gaussian blur is not the second item from the top on the second submenu" anymore. So you actually need to read the menu texts every time very carefully, which makes things very icky to use.
