Multiple issues in Start11 when Windows 10 style start menu is being used

Windows 11 version: 22621.1105

Start11 version: 1.36

 

Issue 1: Alphabetic buttons are far away from mouse cursor

 

Original Windows 10 start menu disperses alphabetic buttons evenly across the app list region verse in Start11 all buttons are located at the top.

It would be better if it:

- either follow Windows 10 closely by dispersing the buttons evenly across the region

- or shift the button location so it's always close to mouse cursor/finger (with touch screen)

 

Also the animation is not as good as the original version.

 

Issue 2: Alphabetical button view persists after start menu is closed

Should be self-explainable. This behavior is not the same as Windows 10.

 

Issue 3: Context menu is slow to load

On Windows 10 the context menu loads very fast, same with Windows 11's original start menu. With Start11, thee context menu sometimes loads for a while, the cursor turns into loading icon, before the menu shows up.

 

Issue 4: I can't open context menu inside context menu

Start11 shows jumplist for supported apps, however you can't right click on jumplist item to open its context menu like you do with taskbar jumplist

 

Issue 5: App icons are displayed out of bound in search results when there are many results

 

Issue 6: You can't drag and drop icons into taskbar/desktop to pin it

This, once again doesn't follow Windows 10 behavior.

This is a trial version of Start11, I've yet to purchase it due to many issues I have with its Windows 10 style start menu. The original Windows 10 start menu just feels much more polished.
