Thanks. 'gtk_widget_set_focus_on_click' is only available since GTK
3.20 and 'gtk_scrolled_window_set_overlay_scrolling' since 3.16 so
please condition your patch accordingly in order to allow compilation
with older versions (like mine).
Making the menu bar a "scrolled window" appears like a rather gross
hack to me and I think we should use it only as a last resort. Can
you tell what actually is different for a scrolled window in order to
not trigger auto-resizing of its parent?
I wonder why 'gtk_widget_set_size_request' does not handle this
problem in the first place. In 'create_menus' we do
wmenu = gtk_menu_bar_new ();
/* Set width of menu bar to a small value so it doesn't enlarge
a small initial frame size. The width will be set to the
width of the frame later on when it is added to a container.
height -1: Natural height. */
gtk_widget_set_size_request (wmenu, 1, -1);
Is it possible that this gets reset later and/or another such call is
needed when adding a new menu bar item? After all, you can set a
small initial width of a frame via 'default-frame-alist' so that the
menu bar is initially partially hidden/truncated. Right? So in
principle truncating should work but somehow breaks when we add items
to the menu bar.
Note that I can't really experiment with this because I don't get any
resizing here.

How much taller does the menu bar get? By the possible height of a
horizontal scroll bar?
Thank you for working on this problem, martin
