Apparently I touched a wrong button (key shortcut?) by accident, and all my menu commands were expanded.
While searching for the solution (couldn't find it on the mighty Internet), I just looked at some settings in my System Preferences.
I tweaked a bit, and before I well knew it, it was back to normal. I didn't know what I did, so please, can you help me recover the issue?
Now I think about it, I'm starting to like it.
All the menu items are in Dutch, but if you want a translation, from top to bottom:
- About this Mac
- System Profile...
- Software Update...
- Mac OS X Software...
- System Preferences
- Dock >
- Location >
- Recent Items >
- Force Quit...
- Force Quit of Firefox (= Application active)
- Sleep
- Restart...
- Restart
- Shut Down...
- Shut Down
- Log out...
- Log out
The difference in last paragraphs between the '...'-items and the items without '...', is that the '...' activate a pop-up menu with a counter (60 seconds). This is well known by most Mac users.
While the ones without don't activate that menu and just Restart, Shut Down or Log out without prompt.
