Oops! sorry then. I do not want to re-open the topic. I personally think that
behavior is not correct because many visual non-desired effects are produced.
For example if you change to another buffer which has a bigger  "tool-bar" that
needs two lines, all text is moved up and down. Unfortunately, I do not know
the reason why emacs is "line-oriented" instead of being "window-representa-
tion independent".

Even more, I think it should be possible to overlay the menu in the
graphical mode
when the mouse pointer is "over it", after all, what you desire is to
have as much
space as possible for editing.

Thanks for the reply,
