Quote - I didn't write that part and don't know how to change it.

It could actually be tighter - look at the descender in Right Shoulder - plenty of extra space there.

This is a classic case of UI "usability" giving conflicting data. On the one hand, cramping menu items is considered poor usability. On the other, a list that is always long and can be made shorter is annoying. I think the implementors simply used the wxWidget menu as it behaves by default.

Personally, I don't use that to pick parts - I use the hierarchy window.

Thanks for the reply, BB, and I was afraid of that.
Yeah, I could use the hierarchy window, sure, but that gets cluttered with several figures and dozens of props in a scene. The drop down menus are at least isolated to the currently selected figure only.

Thank you too, Elfwine. Do you mean edit the actual Poser.exe file? I'm not sure I want to try that because what I'm doing right now has an ominously looming deadline and with my luck I'll screw something up and cause crashes right at the wrong time. ;-)
I wouldn't even know how to go about it anyway.
