Control bar font menu extension
re: the control bar font menu, v14
This dropdown has been improved with more features, but also has lost something valuable: it now only lists about 10 fonts at a time--to see more you have to scroll. It used to drop down the length of the InDesign window, so that you could see dozens of fonts at a time. Please allow users the ability to extend the dropdown to any length they wish.

I am making a plea to Adobe to please fix the control bar font menu. It is awful. Not only does it change highlighted text to every font the cursor passes over, it lists only about a dozen fonts without scroll. When you scroll, if you slip off the elevator your highlighted text is left with who knows what font. It can take multiple tries to scroll and then open the triangle of a multiple-face font before you successfully highlight the font that you want. The whole dropdown is way too fluid and dynamic, and small (e.g,, the number of fonts showing in the list at a time, the elevator line, the "open" triangles).
Please fix this, Adobe. It is pretty useless as is.
