Comment:

 Thanks for taking look at my request.

 Yeah! I can imagine that and you're right. There aren't so many users
 having this issue but It's really quite time-consuming switching into
 sites when have to replicate any issue with other themes in the network
 because of no scroll menu.

 Well, I hope 💯 %  there will be something better coming up even users are
 small.

 Thanks!

 Kind Regards,

 > Hello @iamabdurrehman, congratulations on your second ticket here. This
 is a problem we’ve discussed at length several times, but have yet to take
 any action on. Here’s my brain-dump on the subject:
 >
 > * The number of users who actually run into this problem is very very
 small, but for those users it’s extremely problematic
 > * Creating that menu is still costly, requiring a blog-switch to each
 site to get the site name for the menu label
 > * The Flow Team (specifically @ryan) has researched this deeply for
 WordPress.com (and Jetpack) so we have that to lean on
 > * To address this, we should not try to improve the existing
 implementation, but rather design a new feature to help with the act of
 large-network navigation
 > * At one point, @azaozz did design a scrollable menu, and even one with
 a search bar, but these were all scrapped due to browser render issues,
 mobile issues, and a lack of a proper multi-blog search functionality in
 core
 > * No plugins currently adequately address this that I am aware of,
 though some kind of mega-menu that uses site icons might be neat if site
 icons were more popularly used
 >
 > Because this is a menu, it’s something we can work on privately in a
 plugin if we’d like to, and then merge into core if it’s deemed worthy,
 good & popular enough.
