Is there something I'm missing about TMainMenu designer? Specifically, there doesn't seem to be a way to move menu items around from one menu to another.

For instance, if I have the following:

Menu1
|
|--SubMenu1
Menu2
|
|--SubMenu2

How can I move SubMenu2 under Menu1? Currently it seems it is only possible to move menu items around under their respective menus, but to another menu.

Thanks!

As a follow up, I've notice that if I have several (in this case 6) top level menus on my TMainMenu, then the first top level menu does not show and cannot be accessed in the Menu Desginer:

Correct.
You can create a feature request in the bug tracker or better: implement this feature.
Current solution is to edit the .lfm file.

It is scrolled to the left.
But where is the scrollbar?
Under linux/gtk2 I can see it.

Probably bug 8188. Scrolling in the Menu Designer is very buggy. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=8188

Then we also have bug 8189 relating to moving menu items. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=8189

Both bugs were produced using Linux+GTK. I think Windows also had a issue with one of them. But these were reported long ago. I could retest them, but from Lee's screenshot, these issues seem to still exist.
