Do you mean the situations like multi-column transient menus + line
wrapping? I am not sure if there is a good universal way to address such
situation other than forcing a single column...

 [NEXT LEVEL?:] can emacs automatically dtrt in some cases, thus
 converting from "accessibility needed" into "taking into account
 window size is normal in emacs"?

What would be the right thing though?

 incidentally, i will expand on my mouse-only-mode and kb-only-mode
 thing.  for those who cannot lift their arms without consequences,
 switching between mouse and kb is an issue.  that makes supporting
 both useful.

Are there any specific places where you have to mix mouse and keyboard?
