Description Stefan Hundhammer 2020-08-11 12:57:48 UTC
We need a real menu bar widget for YaST.

In most cases, YaST uses a wizard-driven approach; but in some few cases, that doesn't work well: The dialog gets cluttered with too many button and menu buttons.

One example for that is the partitioner; it would greatly benefit from a classic menu bar with pulldown menus to organize all the actions that are available.
