Is hiding stuff behind the "more" sub-context menu intentional?

Sorry for bothering you again, I'm just curious if this is an intentional design decision as it's really annoying me. Basically, if I have a branch, and right click, most of my context menu is hidden behind a "More..." option. Including for example, spelling corrections (as you've probably noticed I misspell things quite a lot!) and the option to make "Custom Items"

It only seems to happen when my cursor is directly inside the branch (and not inside a nested inset, e.g. an ERT inside the branch). I've also not observed it happening with other insets.

I tried to find the point in the code where it was doing this so I could fix it for myself, but the only place I could find was https://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob;f=src/frontends/qt/Menus.cpp#l733 but removing it (and the place where that method was called) didn't
change anything for me.

On a side note, when I access https://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyxgit/src/frontends/qt it took me 1 minute and 11 seconds to get a HTTP response back, whereas https://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=tree;f=src/frontends/qt  took only about 1s.
(Going directly to the file https://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyxgit/src/frontends/qt/Menus.cpp is only about 6s, but https://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob;f=src/frontends/qt/Menus.cpp is still faster at about 1s). This is not counting the time to actually download the page which is about the same for both.
