Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81255
When a context- or sub-menu has no usable submenus, gray it out

In the context menu, there are some options that have no submenus. The only thing you see is <No selection possible> in gray. In such case, showing the menu option itself is wasteful. Gray it out. Example: 1. Insert a shape (e.g. smiley) 2. Select it and r-click. Check out the "alignment" menu. It has no options. In this case, it would be better to either remove that option or to gray it out.
Reassigned to ES.
@CD: AFAIK, we cannot change this.
.
cd: This issue must be discussed with mmp, who is reponsible for our menus. From my point of view this would be a good idea as we already do it for the menu bar. Target must be discussed with user experience team.
Also the menus (main) have sub menus (format) where sub-entries are not usable at that time but they are not greyed out (Format/Arrange)...
changed to framework as component
Please, don't remove submenus, but gray it out.
I'd also like to see grayed "masters" on gray "slaves" in favour of hiding them.
