I'm not sure of its name. It might be "method popup", but I could be wrong.
The unambiguous approach is to describe the steps that make it appear, then
say:
Observed results: No more than 20 items can ever appear in the menu.
followed by:
Expected results: The ability to configure more than 20 items.
and proceed to describe how limiting a 20-item menu is on today's large
screens. I think some of these limitations are just the result of J Random
Developer having only a small screen (or only a large one).

I know. I'm hoping that by filing a bug/feature request on it, an engineer
will look at the source and see a defaults value that's already being used,
then tell you a magic command:
defaults write ...
which you then share with the world, to much acclaim and paeans of gratitude.

It'd surprise me. It's just the kind of thing a seasoned nextstep
developer would get from an NSDefaults, because hard-wiring it at 20 seems
too much like an 800x600 POV (or a latent bug).
