Why does the cascade/submenu combination refuse to work outside of a menubar? There are a number of places where we need a pulldown to set a number of toggle buttons or otherwise choose multiple things. ] we don't want to take up the interface space that laying them out would take. A whole dialog seems wrong (particularly since some of the cases are in a dialog). An optionmenu _works_, but it has the "feature" of showing you the current value, which I don't want, since there isn't a single current value. There is of course, a workaround. You just create a menubar anywhere you want a pulldown. But I'm wondering if there is some reason this shouldn't be allowed, or whether CUA specifies some other way of doing a pulldown (perhaps with a slightly different visual) outside of a menubar.
