Menu to long - some items are unreachable unless the scrollbutton appears

Question

Hi all,
sometimes when you have menus with many items, not all items can be entered within the window. When you restart your forms application without booting in between there is a horizontal scrollbutton (with a little arrow on it) both on top and button. By pushing it you can scroll through the whole menu. Has anybody else experienced this, too ?
Why doesn´t the button appear right from the start ?
Any ideas how to handle such large menus (apart from reorganization) ?
We use Forms10g on LINUX OAS.
Regards
Frank

I sorted this out in the end and thought my experience might help anyone else with similar problems.
I had got no joy from anyone in any forum and kept getting more and more cryptic error messages (errors 1303, 69, 48, 53...). Sometimes only some podcasts (not all) would sync, sometimes only music. The files were often complete and worked perfectly, sometimes they were partial.
On my fourth try I got CHECKDISK to work (in Vista, right click on the drive, choose Properties->Tool->Error Checking->Check local disk: select both options). This took about 30 mins. After that, syncing worked like A dream and my iPod now has all my 3300 music tracks and 1800 podcast ready and waiting.
So, despite appearances, it was the iPod itself that was the problem and not iTunes. The disk must have got corrupted with a lot of bad sectors, which have now been repaired or marked off. Why can't iTunes or iPod software not recognise the problem? Also, I do think Apple should offer some sort of support - a chat system would be fine.
Phew!
